Welcome to episode 10 of Gallop & Gossip! In this milestone episode, hosts Cheyenne and Maria take us on a journey through the thrills and challenges that come with life in the horse world. They kick things off with a lively update on the recent Whitney Stakes at Saratoga, sharing insider stories about the race day energy, famous horses, and why the racetrack experience is like no other.

Then, Cheyenne sits down for a heartfelt conversation with four-time NFR qualifier Donna K. Rule. Together, they dive into what it really means to set goals in rodeo, how to know when it’s time to regroup (for both horse and rider), and the deep, often unspoken bond riders have with their horses. Through stories of grit, resilience, and a few unexpected roadblocks, this episode shines a light on the importance of pivoting, self-reflection, and the pursuit of self-gratification—whether in the show ring, on the rodeo trail, or behind the scenes in everyday life.
