If your into business, this ones for you!

We were lucky enough to secure some time to sit down with the one and only, Kate Reid, founder of Katie B and The Cowboy's closet.

Kate grew up on the back of a horse and soon fell into competing in both rodeo's and campdraft's. A trip to the USA representing Australia in the sport of rodeo gave Kate an idea to start a business, a business for the consumer, something she has always kept in mind whilst growing her business over the last 13 years.

Kate talks about starting the business and the adversity she faced, sacrifices she has had to make to grow the business, how she grew her social media followings to over 65,000 followers combined and created one of the most well know western businesses in Australia, her plans for the future and everything in between.

Leanne was kind enough to sit down for a lengthy episode with Shianne where they talked about everything from taking a loan to buy her first barrel racing horse too acquiring one of the best barrel racing horses the country has seen in 'Morns Akka Dakka Roc'.

Leanne is super forthcoming when talking of Akka Dakka's struggles in his earlier years with kissing spine an the treatment he underwent that set him up for the best possible year they could have asked for in 2022 leaving Leanne and Akka Dakka the APRA barrel racing champion, pro tour barrel racing champion, being voted the 'barrel horse of the year' by their piers and setting a barrel racing year end record winning almost $44,000 in one season!

* Feature episode * 

Shianne was lucky enough to sit down with one of the biggest duo's in Australian rodeo, in Shane and Leanne Kenny. 

Australia's richest cowboy, the founders of Destiny Downs cattle co, parents, teachers and inspiration to so many people we are so excited to bring this episode to you all. 

Shane and Leanne are so well known for their achievements in the rodeo arena but it is what they have achieved as a couple outside of the arena that is what makes them so special. Leanne's life was changed overnight at the age of 44 when she was diagnosed with MS. MS effects everyone differently and there is no known cure to date. Although MS has changed their lives Shane and Leanne continue to grow at a rapid rate, currently supplying the majority of APRA rodeo's in the country with timed event cattle, continuing to breed, train and compete on the some of the best rodeo horses Australia has seen, run a successful business that is growing at a rate of knots all whilst managing to keep the Kenny last name in the top of the pro rodeo standings! 

This couple are truly one of the most inspirational couple's to grace Australian rodeo, their bond and the love they have for each other is truly something to be admired.
