In this episode of The War Pony Podcast, Cassidy Honne sits down with Corbett Mortensen, a mounted shooter whose journey to the cowboy arena is anything but ordinary. From the grueling world of triathlons and endurance sports to the fast-paced adrenaline of mounted shooting, Corbett shares how life’s unexpected turns led him to swap running shoes for spurs.
Corbett opens up about the physical and mental shift it took to transition from a competitive endurance athlete to a full-fledged cowboy. He takes us behind the scenes of mounted shooting, breaking down everything from training horses for the sport to the skills and precision it takes to compete at a high level. Corbett also shares insight into the rapid growth of the sport, what’s drawing more riders into the arena, and how mounted shooting is making waves in the western world.
Corbett’s journey is marked by significant achievements, including winning some of the latest major mounted shooting events, proving his prowess and dedication to the sport. We discuss how his athletic background gave him a unique edge in training and competition and the discipline, training, and grit required to excel.
Along the way, Corbett reflects on finding community, passion, and a renewed sense of purpose in the western lifestyle. His story is a testament to the idea that it’s never too late to chase a new dream — especially one that calls you to the cowboy way of life. Whether you’re an athlete, a cowboy, or someone looking to make a bold life shift, Corbett’s story is proof that the arena is always open for those brave enough to ride in.
Tune in to hear how one man’s journey from marathons to mounted shooting is redefining what it means to be a modern cowboy, his huge achievements in the sport, and where mounted shooting is headed.
