The Money Barrel

Kathy Grimes has been a friend of The Money Barrel since the start…she was our third guest ever. Time flies and six years later we have her on again to discuss her second NFR qualification, this time on KG Just Money - who was born the year we did the first podcast in season one! This year Kathy and “Showie” have set the rodeo world on fire just a year after being one of the leading futurity teams in 2025. They set the new WPRA World Record on a standard pattern, set a new record in Columbia River Circuit history, leading the circuit with just shy of $65,000 in earnings and securing her first Columbia River Circuit Championship before circuit finals even happened! We can’t wait to watch them in the Thomas and Mack - thanks for joining us for another talk Kathy! This week's episode is brought to you by A Cut Above Buckles.

Joy Wargo has spent her career developing colts, learning how to give them confidence and watching horses she started go on to win at some of the highest levels of the industry.Joy has not only built her program around creating confident horses, but she has also had to learn how to handle the mental side of competition herself—to trust her preparation, believe in the horses underneath her and ride with confidence when the opportunity finally came.This year, that commitment paid off with the major futurity wins including the Colorado Classic and the Breeders Challenge - wins she had worked toward for more than a decade. Today, Joy talks about what she focuses on with her colts, the horses that helped shape her program and what it takes to stay committed for the long haul when the results don’t always come quickly.This week's episode is brought to you by A Cut Above Buckles.

Last month we had Trevor Jeffers of XactRX on the podcast to discuss ulcers and ulcer medication in the performance horse. We had such good feedback we wanted to have him join for another episode to discuss another category of medication commonly used in our industry and this episode is a deep dive on pain management medications. As always these conversations are for educational purposes - the what, when, where, why and how a medication works in our equine athlete. Every situation is different, and a 50 minute podcast cannot replace a trip to your vet. For all specific conversations and uses for your horse please discuss with your veterinarian. We believe that every medication has its place, and our goal is to give horse owners a little more education behind why they would chose that medication. Thank you for listening!This episode is brought to you by Martin Saddlery. Their iconic line of barrel saddles continues to help riders of all levels gain confidence and security in today’s tough competition. Read more about their line of saddles at MARTINSADDLERY.COM

Today we're joined by Cheyenne Wimberley, someone who's spent nearly her entire life in professional barrel racing. She filled her WPRA permit at just 11 years old, qualified for her first National Finals Rodeo in 1997 aboard the horse "April Hemp", and then returned to the NFR nearly two decades later. Over the years, Cheyenne has been successful in every avenue of the sport—rodeoed at the highest level, developed futurity horses, built a successful training program, and even created her own saddle line. She's also had a front-row seat to the incredible growth of our industry and has adapted right alongside it. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Cheyenne.This week's episode is brought to you by SmartEquine and ColiCare.
