At the end of the day, we're all in it together. Even when we're living in God's purpose for us, we get tired, we feel defeated, we struggle, we get lonely and sometimes get to where we almost give up. Until...we get help!

In the book of Exodus, we learn that Moses got help from Aaron and Hur to lift his arms that were holding God's staff so the Israelites could defeat the Amalekites. Just like Moses, sometimes we need someone else to help lift our arms when we get tired. Other times, we get to lift another person's arms when they get tired, because at the end of the day, we're all on the same team!

Tilden Hooper's titles and talents certainly weren't handed to him! Who would ever guess that this 2x American Rodeo Champion Bareback Rider and 8x NFR Qualifier has never owned a "saddle" horse, lives in town, wasn't a stellar athlete in high school athletics, was later than most getting started riding bareback horses and to this day uses two pieces of plywood and a few 2x4s?

While he may not have had the same start as some of rodeo's super stars, he wasn't afraid to suck long enough to get better! With sheer determination, hard work, faith, grit and surrounding himself with the right people, he's made it to places most people dream about. During this Podcast, he shares his story and answers questions that will light your fire and help get your mind right!!

We all have gold buckle dreams of some sort. Maybe your goals aren't inside an arena, but there's something we all want to accomplish. RodeoKids Podcast host, Camarie Widmer, shares some insight into what it takes to get to the top, characteristics of a champion, sponsorship tips and remembering what it's all worth at the end of the day!

Share with your friends and family and leave us a review to help us grow. If you find it in your heart, you can support RodeoKids across the country by contributing to the RodeoKids Continuing Education Fund. All funds go towards scholarships for youth to attend clinics, camps, lessons and events when they don't have the means.

We are human! We all face feelings, thoughts and emotions that want to tie us down and keep us from fully chasing our dreams somedays. Confidence can be a struggle. Turning obstacles into opportunities, can be challenge. Strengthening our weaknesses can threaten the security we feel inside our comfort zone!

BUT....when we're chasing dreams, we GET to do it anyway! With Good Lord's help, we can take it on! This RodeoKids Podcast episode breaks down finding confidence and serenity in chasing our dreams with the help of the Serenity Prayer!

When you hear World Champion Steer Wrestler and 5x National Finals Rodeo Qualifier, Tyler Pearson, talk you'll know he's not just a champion in the arena, but in life.

Learn about what it takes to be a champion, the benefits of bad practice days, mental strength before and during rodeos, overcoming obstacles, horse and human care on the road and much more!

Today's podcast is about looking into the ditches and getting curious about the weeds, grasses and wildflowers. Asking myself what they represent in my life and in yours?. Are you a wildflower, letting your light shine amongst the weeds and the grass? Are you committed to your commitments? Or, are you letting the weeds; negative thoughts, people and actions take hold. What about the grass that represents the mediocrity, laziness and unmotivated people drag you down?

An important thing to remember about wildflowers, is they grow amongst the other plants and undergo the same elements, but they still find a way to stand out, find the light and grow tall. Are you?

You never know what a phone call can lead to! The day before we recorded this podcast, Shane Holland from Off R Rocker called RodeoKids.com to talk about their company.

People who have horses and ponies live a little different life. Especially those who compete with their equine partners. Unlike traditional sports that have specific coaches, fields, teams and schedules; in rodeo families, the parents are the coaches and bus driver, their children and livestock are the athletes and the facility to practice is in the backyard.

While this dynamic makes for amazing memories and family bonding, it can also be difficult to wear all the hats! At RodeoKids.com, we know and we're here to support you! This podcast encompasses thought provoking ideas and strategies to increase communication, clarity and teamwork while chasing those gold buckle dreams!
