LIFE ON THE RODEO TRAIL - PREMIERE EPISODE 1_V 1.0 #rodeo #horse #bullriding #cowboys #cowgirl

**note - my computer decided to give me the spinning wheel of death as I was wrapping up editing, still have a few technical fixes to make, so we will call this version 1.0 :)** The story of "Life on the Rodeo Trail"- It was a little over a year ago when ‪@UltimateArkansasProductions‬ received a long ;) text from Arkansas rancher Don Ramsey about the possibility of shooting a documentary on a couple of young bull riders he sponsored, Alex Legg and Colton Johnson. At first I hesitated as I had just started my production company and didn't know if I would be the right fit for the project. After meeting Tommy Rand, the CEO of the Rand Rodeo Company and Arkansas Family Rodeo and learning about the rich history of his family and the rodeo tradition in Arkansas , the idea for ‪@LifeontheRodeoTrail‬ was born. We decided to expand the documentary to cover the Rand Rodeo Circuit over the course of the 2025 season. It's a closer look at young rodeo competitors at the beginning of their journey to the pros. Over the course of the season, we shot over 15 rodeos along the way we feature the personalities and places you experience living "Life on the Rodeo Trail." I hope you enjoy! Episode one - We begin the journey on the rodeo trail in Calico Rock, a small town on the banks of the White River in Arkansas as preparations are underway for the annual Lions Club Rodeo, an event the Rand Family has produced since 1969. ‪@LifeontheRodeoTrail‬ Episode One Segments 00:00 Intro 03:26 Calico Rock and Rand Rodeo History 09:54 Dolph America and Rodeo in Arkansas 16:56 Finals Prizes and Bull Fighters 26:29 Stock Roundup and Friday night Rodeo 35:46 Lions Club Parade and Saturday night Rodeo Episode one interviews: Tommy Rand - CEO Rand Rodeo/Arkansas Family Rodeo Alex Legg - Bull Rider Colton Johnson - Bronc and Bull Rider Travis Tate - Pro Rodeo Announcer "Wild Thang" Tim Lepard - Rodeo Entertainer Bambi Kilian Bowden - Executive Director/Calico Rock Museum and Visitors Center Greg Hamby - Mayor/Calico Rock Arkansas Shout out to the crew also Camera Anthony Clayton Korey Isbell Andrew Pendell Tony Ranchino Trey Reid Still Photography/Video/Drone Brian Cox - Black Raven Photography Social Media Rebecca Vanlandingham Drone Chauncey Neumann Executive Producers David Pirnique Don Ramsey #rodeo #cowboys #rodeolife #horse #cowgirl #lifeontherodeotrail #ultimatearkansasproductions
