    What It Takes to Be a Champion with Morgan & Emma Webb

    In this episode of Beyond the Buckle, presented by M5 Rodeo Promotions, we proudly partnered with The Man From Snowy River Bush Festival to bring you a very special conversation recorded on location at one of Australia’s most iconic bush events. Prue sits down with Morgan and Emma Webb to talk all things competition, preparation, mindset and what it really takes to rise to the top at the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival. From the pressure of competing on such a legendary stage to the work that happens long before event day, this episode dives into the grit, heart and horsemanship behind becoming a champion competitor. Because at Man From Snowy River, it is never just about showing up. It is about backing yourself, your horse, your preparation and your love for the country lifestyle. Listen now to hear Morgan and Emma Webb’s story, and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to compete with the best.

    Nicole McDonald on Rodeo Life, Family & the Western Way

    This is the very first episode of Beyond the Buckle… and we had to make it count. Recorded on location at the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival, in this episode we sit down with M5 Rodeo Boss Nicole McDonald — a name many in the western world will recognise, but this conversation goes beyond what you see on the surface. We talk about rodeo life, family, resilience, and what it really takes to live and breathe the western lifestyle. The early mornings, the pressure, the pride, and the moments that shape it all. For this episode, we proudly partnered with our good mates at travla beer — a brand that backs the country lifestyle just as much as we do. This is exactly what Beyond the Buckle is about. Because what happens in the arena is only part of the story. If you love rodeo, country life, or just real conversations with good people… you’re in the right place.
