In this new release on Roping.com, Jackie Crawford introduces us to Big Red—a 23-year-old horse whose impact reaches far beyond the arena.

Big Red has carried countless young riders through their early rodeo days, and today, he continues that legacy with Jackie’s own kids, Creed and Journey, who’ve learned the fundamentals of roping from the back of this steady, seasoned horse.

In Jackie Crawford’s “Big Red”, Jackie shares what makes a horse like this so special—not just the reliability or the years of experience, but the trust, patience, and confidence he gives young ropers as they grow. It’s a reminder that the right horse can teach lessons no clinic ever could.

This episode is about more than one horse—it’s about mentorship, family, and the kind of mounts that quietly shape the future of our sport.
