Ready for Rodeo

Beat the heat by staying cowboy cool with these top summer rodeos of 2026.

June 2026 Western Horseman – Table of Contents

Throughout this June rodeo issue, we balance past and present. From our cover story featuring Ty Erickson and his horse, “Crush,” to the energy and miles of the Cowboy Christmas run, these stories reflect the many sides of rodeo today.

May 2026 Western Horseman – Table of Contents

Good gear tells a story. In this May tack and gear issue, we highlight the craftsmanship of makers like Big Sky Mohair Cinches, Nettles Stirrups and Waite Saddles, alongside family ranch stories and curated tack selections. In “Stronger Than the Storm,” we follow the effort to keep campers in the saddle after historic flooding threatened the horse programs that have shaped generations of young riders in the Texas Hill Country.
We also travel across the country for a barn design feature that explores how one idea grew into a company dedicated to preserving the character of traditional timber barns. Lastly, in our conversation with Butch Morgan, cover man of the May 1972 issue, we see how one horseman’s commitment to family has helped preserve the values that define our community.

April 2026 Western Horseman – Table of Contents

April’s issue of Western Horseman leans into the small, consistent habits that protect a horse’s long-term health. From understanding how to age a horse by its teeth to practical guidance on taking a horse’s temperature and managing salt, sweat and electrolytes, this issue focuses on the everyday knowledge that keeps good horses healthy.
We also explore horsemanship and training insights from Wade Black, Tuli Dowers, and Van Luse, and address real-world health concerns with a feature examining equine herpesvirus.
Beyond health, we step back in time with selections from our 90th anniversary series. Part two of our Western Horseman feature history continues with a closer look at the content that has shaped this publication for generations. We’re also back with a reader favorite, exploring historic advertisements from the magazine in the ’60s and ’70s.
