In this episode, I sit down with Rodney Yost—4th-generation rancher, founder of Rodney Yost Horsemanship (also the guy who started barrel horse extraordinaire, Adios Pantalones), and part of the family behind South Dakota’s Broadaxe Ranch.

We had a great conversation, in which Rodney shared wisdom from a life spent training horses, insights on building and marketing a business, and how being a part of a ranching family’s legacy drives him to succeed.

Follow the social media pages of both the Broadaxe Ranch and Rodney Yost Horsemanship to keep tabs on what’s going on with them in the future!

Ever wonder what your equine vet is really thinking? In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Maria Brock joins me to talk about the emotional toll of veterinary work, common client misconceptions, and the reality behind why most horse vets aren’t in it for the money. We discuss the impact of abusive clients, burnout, and what your vet wishes you understood—both about them and the horses they care for. Whether you’re a horse owner, trainer, or just curious about the human side of veterinary medicine, this episode pulls back the curtain on one of the horse world’s most important but misunderstood roles.
