Nicole McDonald on Rodeo Life, Family & the Western Way

This is the very first episode of Beyond the Buckle… and we had to make it count.Recorded on location at the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival, in this episode we sit down with M5 Rodeo Boss Nicole McDonald — a name many in the western world will recognise, but this conversation goes beyond what you see on the surface.We talk about rodeo life, family, resilience, and what it really takes to live and breathe the western lifestyle. The early mornings, the pressure, the pride, and the moments that shape it all.For this episode, we proudly partnered with our good mates at travla beer — a brand that backs the country lifestyle just as much as we do.This is exactly what Beyond the Buckle is about.Because what happens in the arena is only part of the story.If you love rodeo, country life, or just real conversations with good people… you’re in the right place.Follow Beyond the Buckle so you don’t miss the stories behind Australia’s biggest western events.Hosted by Prue Houston, Rodeo Reporter with M5 Rodeo Promotions.Follow M5 Rodeo:Instagram: @m.5rodeopromotionFacebook: @M5RodeoTikTok: @m5.rodeo YouTube: @M5RodeoSee upcoming rodeos and events:  www.m5rodeo.com.auPodcast enquiries and partnerships: [email protected]
