We’ve got Andi and Beans from the “” in the house—coming all the way from Florida—and things get real, fast. What starts as a casual conversation about meeting people on Facebook turns into a deep (and hilarious) dive into viral content, trail riding culture, and what it actually means to live the ranch life versus posting about it. From building a social media following from scratch to riding 20,000 acres of state forest every week, these girls aren’t just...

Ep. 13 | Getting Thrown & the Truth About Ranch Horses | Kyle (6S Horsemanship) Pt. 1
Black Knuckle Ranch
In Part 1 with Kyle from , we get into everything from getting thrown off a horse for the first time… to the deeper mindset behind bull riding, horse training, and what it really means to be a horseman. We kick things off with a story from the ranch that quickly turns into a bigger conversation about risk, confidence, and learning the hard way. From there, we dive into a heated (but respectful) discussion around bull riding culture—should you get on anything you draw, or is there a smarter way to develop? Kyle brings a unique perspective with his rodeo background and horsemanship approach,...

Ep. 12 | Do Cowboys Re-Wear Their Underwear? (Apparently Yes)
Black Knuckle Ranch
Some weeks on the ranch go smooth. This wasn’t one of them. We kick things off with another call from Wally Gator… and let’s just say, it raises some serious questions about personal hygiene and life choices. From there, things only get better (or worse). We talk about picking up the new ranch truck, the kind of deal you don’t usually walk away from, and swap stories about old jobs—including one that somehow involves working for a pimp in Hawaii. Yeah… it goes there. We also get into cowboy movies—why Lonesome Dove didn’t quite hit like expected, what actually makes a...

Ep. 11 | Horse Nuts, Bull Riders, and a “Good Week” on the Ranch
Black Knuckle Ranch
A “good week” on a working ranch doesn’t look like what most people see online. This week on the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast, we talk about what actually happened around the ranch — selling a couple horses for the first time, the never-ending search for a decent ranch truck, and a debate that lit up the internet: a $100,000 cutting horse vs a good ranch horse that can actually get the job done. We also get into the realities of bull riding after watching a practice event where the bulls weren’t exactly cooperating, why young riders are getting hurt, and what the sport really demands...

Ep. 10 | Cowboy Laundry, Bull Riders & Ranch Nonsense
Black Knuckle Ranch
Welcome back to the — where ranch life isn’t filtered and the stories definitely aren’t polished. This week the crew covers everything from bull riding sponsorships to cowboy beer preferences, and somehow ends up in a full-blown debate about cowboy laundry habits and shirt rotations. If you’ve ever wondered how many shirts a ranch hand actually owns… you’re about to find out. We also talk about: Trying to sponsor a bull rider (Lennon Cook) Why Billy Bob’s might not be the best place to get on a bull The cowboy hat brands we actually wear on the ranch Why one of the guys...

Ep. 9 | Scope Creep, Steer Wrestling & Stud Colts
Black Knuckle Ranch
Building an arena sounds simple—until you try doing it while the ranch still has to run. This week we break down what went into building our facilities, where we screwed up, how projects spiral when scope changes mid-job, and what we learned about managing work without burning people out. Plus: chainsaws, steer wrestling chaos, and a few stud colts that aren’t studs anymore. Real horses. Real ranch. Real talk.

Ep. 8 | Real Talk: When the Ranch Outgrows the Crew
Black Knuckle Ranch
This week on the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast, the conversation gets real. We talk about mental load, burnout, broken equipment, and whether it’s finally time to hire a full-time operator. When you’re scaling a ranch business, the work doesn’t slow down — the stakes just get higher. Billy opens up (a little) about perfectionism and why he won’t ask for help. We break down what it actually costs to run heavy equipment every day, why things break, and why $1,800–$2,000 per day isn’t as crazy as it sounds. We also talk about: 9 million social media views in 24 days Landing...
info_outlineIn Part 2 with Kyle from 6S Horsemanship, we go deeper into the reality of horse training—where things don’t always go right, and most days aren’t pretty.
This episode dives into what separates real horsemen from everyone else: the ability to just get by one, even when it’s frustrating, uncomfortable, or flat-out not going your way.
Kyle and the crew break down:
- Why not every ride is a breakthrough—and why that’s normal
- The difference between “training” and just surviving the day
- How pressure changes everything when you’re riding in front of people
- Why social media only shows the worst moments (and why that’s what people want)
- The challenge of training horses for their owner—not yourself
- Why most problems in horse training actually come from people
- The reality of time constraints when you’ve got a full barn to ride
- Why consistency beats perfection every time
There’s a heavy emphasis on something most people don’t talk about:
👉 The job isn’t always to fix everything—it’s to make progress and come back tomorrow.
This is the unfiltered side of the horse world—the part that doesn’t make highlight reels but actually makes good horses.
