#142 Rodeo Roots Run Deep: Stories from the 2nd Annual King Brothers Reunion

Step into the heart of rodeo history with this second episode from the 2nd Annual King Brothers Rodeo Reunion in Lewisburg, Ohio. Host Doug Simcox brings you personal, funny, and powerful conversations with the cowboys, cowgirls, secretaries, stock contractors, and trick riders who helped shape rodeo in the Midwest.

Meet Debbie Tatkowski—married her husband Jim on horseback in front of a live rodeo crowd—and longtime rodeo hands like Roy Troutman, who takes us from his days riding hunters and jumpers to bareback broncs, and on to farrier work with world-class horses. Hear from rodeo secretary Laura of Lewisburg and legendary 3 Bar J Rodeo stock contractor Marcia Johnson.

These are the stories of friendships forged in the arena, late-night drives home, lifelong love affairs with horses, and unforgettable reunions. Whether you rode bulls, carried flags, judged rough stock, or timed a barrel run—you’ll find a piece of yourself in this episode.
