http://www.cowhorseproductions.com/ Aaron Ralston was born and raised on his family’s ranch in Western Colorado, and was taught the importance of being a helpful cowhand. This mentality has stayed with him throughout his early career as he rodeoed and now as he participates in show reining and working cow horses. Through his work with cow horses he is finding a strong desire to return to his ranching roots before the lifestyle fades away. No matter what we do, times will change and Aaron's goal is to help them change in a way that will preserve the working ranch cowboy. Along with being a headliner clinician, Aaron will be judging the Colt Starting Extravaganza on Sunday. Join Aaron every week for a new episode of "The Ride" on RFD-TV.
