We dive deep into his journey into bareback riding, discussing the intense training, preparation, and physical maintenance required to thrive in such a demanding sport. He shares invaluable insights into the mental and emotional challenges that come with competing at the highest level, and how maintaining a strong mindset is just as important as physical conditioning.
