BTC On the Road Again | First Frontier Circuit Finals

This is Beyond the Chutes, and this special Bonus Episode takes you inside the First Frontier Circuit Finals — not from the stands, but from the quiet moments just before it all happens.

Recorded on the road at the Penn Harris Hotel, just hours before the final performance, this episode features a real-time conversation with Brianna Waltz — IPRA World Champion breakaway roper, registered nurse, wife, and mom — as she prepares for the biggest runs of the weekend.

Brianna shares what preparation really looks like when the draw is posted and the pressure is real. From trusting a quirky but honest horse, to simplifying the barrier, managing mindset, and balancing rodeo with work and family life, this conversation captures rodeo as it unfolds, not years later.

There’s no polish. No hindsight. Just mindset, preparation, and trust — told in the calm before the gate swings open.

BTC was on the road again, recording the stories that matter — right where rodeo happens.

🎙️ This is Beyond the Chutes.
