In this engaging conversation, Vinny and Faith Hudson explore various aspects of barrel racing, and the importance of positivity in the sport. They discuss horse training regimens, and the significance of community support and sponsorships. Faith shares her memorable racing moments and insights into maintaining a positive mindset, while also touching on her future plans and upcoming races.

In this episode, I talk about what it’s like going to a barrel race even when I’m not behind the camera. From cheering on the Positivity Posse to catching a few casual videos and actually getting to talk with riders, sometimes showing up without gear is the best way to soak it all in.

I also give an update on the Southwest Barrels Binder of Awesome — how it’s been received and what it means to the riders who’ve seen themselves in print. Plus, a few thoughts on the Positive Pete book and what’s ahead for our community.

This one’s casual and from the heart. Whether you’re hauling in, volunteering, or just leaning on the fence with some nachos, you’re part of the scene.
