When the actors and actresses from the hit series Yellowstone walk the red carpet, reporters ask who they’re wearing. When horse trainers appear on the show, horse people ask — who were they riding?
In last week’s episode of Season 3 of Paramount Network’s hit series, Western performance horse trainers Bob Avila, Todd Bergen, Corey Cushing, Tracer Gilson and Kelby Phillips all appeared on camera on Episode 8, “I Killed A Man Today.”
The premise for the Yellowstone episode? Character John Dutton, the family patriarch played by actor Kevin Costner, is looking to buy a horse. And, he wants it to be a working cow horse.
The riders presented him quite a lineup to choose from, ranging from veteran bridle horses with long and accomplished show records to younger horses still competing in the sport’s top limited-age events.
The Yellowstone episode included earners in the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA), National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) and point-earners through the American Quarter Horse Association(AQHA).
Quarter Horse News talked to the trainers to get the skinny on who rode.
