INSIDE RODEO TV

TAROOM couple Rick and Bec Knudsen will be the focus of one of the early shows of presenter Warren Ryan on Inside Rodeo TV.
Ryan and Australian Professional Rodeo Association administrator Steve Hilton believe new monthly show starting 8.30pm Saturday (Jan 18) on Aurora TV will promote a sport which puts $150 million into the Australian economy each year.
"Rodeo committees donate $6.5 million each year to charities, sporting groups and the community,"Hilton said.
Ryan said he spen three days with the Knudsen’s at their Taroom property in Queensland.
"We looked at their breeding program. Bec has imported two barrel racing stallions from America and Rick has imported a bucking stallion," Ryan said.
"Both are successful competitors who have competed in National Finals Rodeos."
The first show on Saturday will be on the Warwick Rodeo held in Queensland on the last weekend of October last year.
Ryan shows on the people behind the scenes in all states, including some of the finalists for the May 1-4 National Finals Rodeo at Caboolture.
Two of the early shows will feature Emerald (Qld) cowboy Shane Kenny, the most successful in APRA history and Moree rider Wendy Caban who has won six of the past 15 cowgirl titles in the all around, barrel race and breakaway roping.
The 30-minute Inside Rodeo TV will be on Aurora TV on Foxtel and Optus Digital.
