In Part Two of this powerful series, JR picks up where his story left off — tracing his journey with horses from childhood to the present day. From his earliest days in the Montana mountains, learning grit and grace in the saddle, to the highs and lows of rodeo life, this episode dives deeper into how horses have shaped not only JR’s career but his character, faith, and calling.
Now, years after his accident, JR has found a new chapter in the cow reining world, a discipline that demands precision, partnership, and patience. With the same determination that carried him through rodeo, he shares how he’s rebuilding, retraining, and redefining what it means to be a true cowboy.
Shelby joins in as they reflect on how the lessons from the arena, the ranch, and the reining pen continue to teach them about purpose, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond between a cowboy and his horse.
Whether you ride for a living or just love a story about resilience, this episode is a reminder that no matter where life takes you, there’s always another ride ahead.
