Hi, everyone. We are up here at Three String Cattle Company in Utah for a very
exciting week at the Old West Futurity.
We're celebrating a big win with Relentless PYC and Myles Baker.
Myles, tell us a little bit about what happened today and how much money you won.
Man, what happened to the mare was great. She always is.
(00:21):
I think we figured out she's won $93,000 now, basically halfway through her four-year-old year.
It was great to win this, but
the event obviously isn't possible without what reggie
probes and his family's done and what the richards are doing
and to get to come run for this kind of money and it's fun
having a mare like this that shines in these setups they did a great job fresh
(00:44):
mexican steers scored them out there and they were fresh a bunch of them didn't
leave and then would go on and it just got to we got to really show every aspect
of the run on these horses and for me personally it's That's pretty cool.
I got to say God's good because I was talking to Daisy about it.
And four years ago, I was in Oklahoma charging $650 a month to get experience,
(01:09):
you know, and to get to win this and just the opportunity to ride a horse like her.
But, you know, to get to train multiple horses of this caliber and the kind
of horses we have coming with y'all, it's just, you know, like I said,
God's good. Well, let's talk a little bit about this event. So you've touched on it.
The Wren and Chad and Reggie, they all put up, it's $400,000 in added money
(01:37):
that they themselves put up and rounded up the sponsors who put up.
And it didn't take anything out. Like it's 100% payback.
The fees are $2,000 and we're roping for $2,000 of our money. You just don't.
A lot of places are 50, 60% payback. This is 100% payback. And so I think that
shows those guys' commitment to actually improving this industry.
(01:58):
And, you know, I don't think we can all say thank you enough for that.
Yeah, no. And I know these guys are about to talk.
So just in case I don't get my turn again, I got Joseph has not messed up for this mayor all year.
And I want to say this is her third faturity win of the year in 93,000.
And Joseph has not missed or roped a leg. And just to clarify,
(02:21):
Joseph Harrison. Yeah, Joseph Harrison. Joseph helped this mare this weekend.
Yeah, so that's a big deal for this mare, which he's got his confidence behind
her. He says she does some of the cattle.
It's just in his head. He just says he'll do good for her.
But, man, like you can't go without giving your helpers credit.
And to not mess up for a mare for seven months straight, I think probably seven faturities.
(02:46):
He's probably healed 25 steers by two feet behind her. and so kudos to him.
So let's talk a little bit about this mare. Ty, you probably know her story as good as anybody.
She's out of Sharsgun, which is a mare that Renee Cudd owns.
Tell us a little bit about her and this mare's story.
I bought this mare's mother, I would say, if she is a four-year-old.
(03:10):
So I bought her when this one was in her belly.
So we've owned this mare since then.
We fold her out there at the ranch and then sold her back in Renee's cell.
Oh, and Larry bought her back.
And then Larry Rice at Flag Ranch.
And then these guys bought her from Larry. And then come a full three years,
(03:31):
at the beginning of her four-year-old year, then that's when we bought back into her with Bob Tonka.
What a great story. You know, her mother's there at Solo.
And it's just a cool thing to go all the way around. Full circle story.
So Trevor, tell us, you've seen a lot of great headhorses.
I want you to tell us what you think. And I know Miles has trained this mare
the whole way, so he knows her as good as anyone.
(03:54):
But what makes this mare special and why do you think the judges like to mark her?
Well, it's easy to mark this mare. She goes from zero to 100 percent every time in the box.
She's able to hold that power, you know, and keep it in check. And she scores amazing.
And then all of a sudden when you drop the reins, you know, she's just got an
(04:15):
engine in her hind end. Like, it's not just pretty, it's, it's there for function.
She can roll, but is able to gather stride and look, you know,
have so much, how much, so much finesse when she gets a hold of the cow and faces.
I mean, there's really not a hole in her game and just having a little bit extra
talent in all those places just makes it, makes her do it with ease.
(04:37):
You see a lot of horses that do a really good job, but they have to be maxed out to do it.
This American cruise and do it amazing.
So having that, that extra ability has to, has to make it easy to reproduce
because she does it so, so often,
you know, and what we were saying earlier about this futurity,
I was able to get up here early and I was seeing how much work.
(05:00):
Put in like i don't care if they were making hundreds of
thousands to put this on it's not enough and to know that
they're not making a dime off of it it is actually they're doing
it for the industry and we've just got i mean
the richards and the probes families have just
went above and beyond hopefully to start something you know because there is
(05:21):
so many facets of not just the fraternities but the breeding game the stallions
the mares i mean it's it's growing so much and And it's going to take events
like this to just keep propelling it forward. And my hat's off to those guys.
I want to touch on one more thing before we're done here. So I get a lot of
comments when we market our horses or talk about our breeding.
(05:42):
I think the cow run cross is a little new to people.
And I'd love to hear from Miles and Trevor, both of y'all, on where you think
this mare's ability comes from, right?
She can really run, but she also has such a powerful hind end.
And, and, and I think that's what we're going for, right? When we're breeding
some of these crosses we're doing right now.
(06:02):
Yeah, I, I think this is what we're looking for.
You know, I, in my mind, I've, I've wanted just like race on race because I
want this speed, but, and I know it'd be really hard or may breed a hundred
of them to get something that can do what she does,
but she has the run of a run, run horse,
but she can gather stride like a
(06:25):
horse that can't run and like we were
having dinner with Hope and LD last night and Hope remembers
she says that the mare that can fly and then just gather
stride like it's nothing yeah and so this
is the ultimate I mean this is what we want you
know it's just we're gonna see how easy it is to
get it because I there's a lot of cow run crosses that
(06:46):
are really good but this mare's just
she's in a league of her own you know and and I
think like we have a winner's version out of a playgun mare
that i don't want to say she's will be
better than this mare or is good i don't know but at this
point in her three-year-old year she's probably better than
this one was last year this one last november december was
(07:07):
when i was like blown away by her and so i i think there's something you know
her mom's playgun and i think they're those mares are probably going to cross
good on the racehorses because i'm two for two on maybe the two best ones I've
rode that are out of, by a runner out of a playgun mare.
Structurally, that's right. Yes. You know, they are built to last.
(07:31):
To go on a career after they're done with them.
This mare looks like she's got an engine behind her, her hip,
hind end, the way she walks.
And then after I run that first round, until I get where money's up and I sit
there and watch one take off and I send her, I forget how fast she is because
(07:54):
I don't have to ask her for it at home.
I just cruise her all the time, and she fires when she needs to.
And I, when I get in that scenario, I come back up and Gracie,
the girl that works for us, is swapping horses with her.
And it's like, gosh dang, I forget how fast this mare is. And she,
I told you, had an accident yesterday where a dang tent blew across the driveway and hit her.
(08:16):
And it took her a minute to get away from it. And we were all holding our breath.
Saw how fast she was there too.
She, I said, after that first one, I said, she left the box like that tent was still chasing her.
And so anyway, she's amazing. is just a fun time because
we're able to do that because all these different crosses
i think will benefit more than just the heading you
know eventually but right now there's not really
(08:38):
a lot of breeding programs that service the heading discipline you know there's
a lot of horses that can transition you know in the tie down roping or the the
healing because of their size but we're We're wanting something big and strong and fast,
and it's just going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of trial and error
(09:00):
in the breeding process.
But I mean, it's fun times. It's a new time just to pioneer the head and breed,
if you will, because there's not so many other disciplines that are servicing great head horses.
And I think that's what we'll see the most to come from the cow cross.
I think, too, what we're doing, what I hope that we're doing is in 10 years,
(09:23):
we're all going to look back and say those used to be cow run crosses.
Now they're just headhorses. You know, they're not crosses. We bred the greatest
headhorse mares to the greatest headhorse stallions, and now we've got headhorses.
We're in here now, and y'all wasn't in here, but we were talking about how thankful
we were for y'all, what you're doing for the industry.
Trev said, we've been around here for a few days hanging out,
and even if y'all were making hundreds of thousands for putting this on,
(09:46):
it's not enough because the work that gets put into it. And so you've obviously,
like one of the best headers in the game, always have the good head horses.
And I think you see the industry coming on.
And I just, we wanted to talk to you a little bit about what drove you all to
do this event and everything.
Because you all had to really stick your necks out and we're thankful for it.
I think it just boils down to love of the game. I mean, a passion for horses.
(10:12):
We just, we love everything about it. We felt like there needed to be an event
that these owners, riders had a chance to go have a chance to win the big money.
Yeah. So, I mean, it costs enough to go buy a really good one.
And to me, it's just not sustainable if there isn't something out there where
(10:34):
you've got a chance to go win.
I mean, looking at a businessman's,
point of view yeah i mean it's got to make sense a little bit right so and the cool part about it is.
It's all the sponsors were from everybody in the industry i mean we leaned on
some relationships through you know our businesses and outside of rodeo but
(10:58):
for the most part it was pretty easy when we talked to them and kind of told
them the vision and what we wanted to do they were all
about it yeah so we're excited i mean
i think everybody's pretty excited about it
and i don't see it going anywhere but uh
yeah man we yeah we can't thank y'all enough for what y'all done i think it's
(11:22):
a it's super eye-opening for a lot of people that have gotten in this year ty
and i keep saying this is probably one of the first years that we've had people
that have specifically come to us breeding for rope horses,
you know, and this event is just another thing that's going to continue to,
you know, encourage those people to invest their money in these rope horse breeding.
And as to our point earlier, developed this, these bloodlines where we're not
(11:46):
bringing all these other disciplines and we have rope horses that were bred
and made specifically to be rope horses.
And it's going to up y'all's game as ropers.
There's no telling how much better the The horses are going to get over the next decade.
We're not far from the point where like it takes a horse like this to win.
Because I mean, look at her. There's no mistake.
(12:07):
Like she's made to do it. She's bred to do it.
Just doing it time and time again. Like who's going to, who wouldn't want a
colt out of a horse like this?
So it's pretty neat. We'll sell you one.
Well, thank you guys all for getting on here. We're super excited to be here.
We still have a lot of roping ahead of us, and we'll be keeping everybody updated
(12:29):
on what's to come. Hopefully some more wind pictures.
