Meet Fill The Thrill (“Thriller”), the talented, quirky gelding by The Boon who’s challenged Blane to become a better horseman. Learn about Leon, the family-raised Driftwood-bred gelding packed with consistency and heart, and Kit (Harlans Star Splash), the strong, reliable bay roan mare proven at the Cinch Timed Event Championships. Finally, see Blane’s work with a 7-year-old futurity and derby winner owned by Trevor Curry, a powerhouse gelding making the move from the show pen to the rodeo trail.
Each horse tells a story—of patience, progress, and purpose. Whether it’s a young prospect learning to stand quiet in the box or a seasoned campaigner pulling on big calves under the bright lights, this playlist shows what it takes to build great rope horses from the ground up.
