When we asked our listeners what story you wanted us to dive into next - many, many of you asked to hear more about RC Back In Black and her time with Jane Melby. In this conversation you will learn how Jane's background led her to knowing that "Beauty" was the horse to take her to the very highest level and about their short, but impressive career together. RC Back In Black went from winning the reserve championship at Pendleton to 3 NFR round wins. Now, RC Back In Black is one of the most prolific broodmares in the history of our sport. From how her foals are to ride to how Jane chooses stallions for Beauty and more - we covered it all.  We hope you enjoy!

When you saw a big gray gelding and a bright colored shirt with fringe fly into the arena in the early 2000's, you knew you were about to witness a great run. Kelly Kaminski and Rockem Sockem Go captivated the rodeo world in the early 2000's winning 2 straight Reserve World Championships, followed up by back to back World Champion titles. We had the opportunity to talk to Kelly and really hear the story of Rocky and how their partnership started with a $500 broodmare purchase and ending as one of the most legendary duos in rodeo history. Kelly has continued to make an impact on our industry long after Rocky's running days, creating her KK Run for Vegas Youth Championships, training colts, and traveling with her daughter Kenna.

Michele McLeod's story is truly one of dedication, perseverance, and the love of horses. Her story is also an example of, "When something is meant to be, nothing is going to stop it." We get to watch foals by Slick By Design win every single weekend now days, but this story goes back to how Michele and Slick teamed up to start their story together, one that truly secured their names in the history books forever. From their Fort Smith Derby championship to their first NFR, Michelle overcoming her accident at the end of 2016 to making it back to the finals the following year, her role as a mom and watching her daughters win at the highest levels, as well as managing her own clinics and breeding program now - we talk about it all!

Our next guest's career spans six decades of consistent winning - from riding racehorses in Mexico to 12 trips to the National Finals Rodeo and countless 1D and futurity titles. Kay Blandford has been one of our most requested guests and this conversation highlighting the horses in her career that have made the biggest impact is a special one.  Names like The Key Grip and Talents Dark Angel are still known throughout the industry today, decades after their careers have ended.  Kay is still as competitive as ever and every horse that she rides down the alley is one to watch. She keeps things simple, puts her faith in God and her horse's talent, and lets them shine!

When the 2024 Futurity season kicked off on November 15th - no one made the first run of their career quite like TJR Malibu Eddie and jockey Elaina McKinney who took home the $100,000 check for winning the BFA SuperStakes Slot Race. We caught up with Elaina to learn more about her program - a family program with now three generations of top notch trainers that work together daily and have always focused on producing consistent winners. For being a relatively young futurity jockey, Elaina had some excellent advice to share and a great story to listen to - we know we will see her name in the winners circle for years and years to come!

We all watched - and discussed - the clone of World Champion "Latte" setting an arena record this year at Denver with Tessa Arnold. We figured it was about time to have Mary Walker on our podcast to tell the entire story of her reign with Latte and how he is still making an impact on the barrel horse industry. We watched this duo overcome impossible odds back in 2012 to win their world title and this was a very special episode to hear this story again, as well as the journey now with Lattes clones.

This was such a fun conversation with Carlee Otero as she was getting ready to compete in the San Diego Rodeo this last weekend. Carlee is a 3X NFR Qualifier, mom of 5, and is back on the rodeo trail ready to make a run for the 2024 NFR. She didn't start winning until Reno last year on her then 5yr old - Blingolena - and ended up the season in the top 20 - so we are betting on her this year! Carlee has two phases to her rodeo life with a little break in between and this conversation talks about the behind the scenes truths, the ups and downs of life, handling raising kids and a barrel racing career, starting over, selling great horses and seasoning new ones, and still pursuing your dreams to make the finals. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

If there is a combination of names on a set of papers that has set the barrel racing world on fire, it is Dash Ta Fame with Blazin Jetolena crossed with Lady Perks, in some fashion. What do these names have in common with one of the best mares running today - MJ Segers Fast Lane? They are apart of Grant and Rayel Little's impact on the industry. Grant and Rayel Little might have been one of the leading factors behind why Busby Quarter Horses invested in Blazin Jetolena and they purchased the incredible broodmares GL Famous First Lady and Blazin Black Beauty from the Little program way back when, and now we are getting to watch Rollo, Benny, Emmitt and so many more set records today. Rayel is a 4X Canadian Rodeo Champion and is known still today for her time with Lady Perks - including their 3 Ponoka Stampede Championships and so much more. It was an honor to get to visit with Grant and Rayel on their program's history, as well as what it looks like today, and being an owner of one of the most incredible mares running right now. We hope you enjoy this history filled episode and thank you all again for listening to us each and every episode of 2023 - we can't wait to bring you more stories in 2024!

Most of the 2023 National Finals Rodeo Barrel Racing Qualifiers are past guests of The Money Barrel - and we thought it would be fun to touch base with them and see how their preparation for this year's finals are going. Who they are riding, what they had to overcome, what they are preparing most for - we tried to ask the questions that our listeners want to get the answers to!  In this episode you will listen to Sue Smith, Taycie Matthews, Emily Beisel, and Paige Jones! We also talked to Ilyssa Riley just a few weeks ago on her own episode so if you haven't tuned in, go take a listen to hear her plans as well!

In the early 2000s if you heard "Man I feel like a woman" come on at an NBHA show, or any mega barrel race you knew to run to the fence because you were about to see the legendary HotShot likely take the lead. HotShot - registered as Nate Shilbar - was purchased out of a sale barn and trained by Peyton Raney who had tremendous success on him including winning the 1997 Rookie of the Year title and an NFR qualification. He won with Peyton until 2001 when Janet Stover leased him for the NFR winning a record setting amount to clinch her the World Championship - a record that would still hold today if his placings were tied to current NFR payouts - and then he went on to secure his spot in the history books with the Steinhoff girls. Jockeyed by Tanya, Tyrney, and Taylor Steinhoff for over a decade - HotShot continued to win until his passing in 2011. Tyrney Steinhoff Small took some time to share the legacy of HotShot with us and we know you all will love this one.
