Behind the Buckles is back this week, and we’re sitting down with Tex Sutfin. Tex is a horseshoer who’s also spent time in the rodeo world, so he’s seen things from both sides of the arena.
We get into what it’s really like working on horses day in and day out, the kind of effort that goes into keeping them performing, and some stories from his time around rodeo. It’s a laid-back conversation about the lifestyle, the work, and everything in between.
If you’re into horses, rodeo, or just want to hear a good, real conversation, this one’s worth a listen.

Behind the Buckles is back, and this episode we’re hanging out with none other than Hailey Kinsel—world champ, road warrior, and all-around horsepower expert. From hauling across the country to making it look way too easy in the arena, Hailey gives us a real look at life behind the scenes.
We talk about her legendary partnership with Sister, the chaos and commitment that come with rodeo life, and yes—her breeding program (because turns out, raising future superstars is just as serious as running them). There’s a mix of laughs, honest moments, and a few stories that prove even the best in the world are figuring it out as they go.
