In this episode of Behind the Buckles, we sit down with saddle bronc rider Kade Bruno to talk about his rodeo career, the people he travels with, and the different formats that make up the professional rodeo season. Kade shares how much the traveling partner dynamic matters on the road, and why those buddy groups become such an important part of life in rodeo.
We also dig into the way rodeos can vary from one event to the next, from smaller circuit rodeos to bigger winter stops and major championship events. Kade explains how entering, hitting the road, and figuring out the best rodeo format all play into staying competitive and building momentum through the season.
Along the way, Kade talks about the grind of travel, the support system that comes with rodeo, and what it takes to keep showing up when the miles stack up. His perspective gives a great look at how much strategy, chemistry, and consistency go into a successful season.
