New Podcast is live! https://youtu.be/fdTpIRTHASk

Episode 6 of Saddle Up Salinas is here — and this one is special.

We sit down with Benny Jefferson — past President of the California Rodeo Salinas, inventor of the Benny Blaster, the man behind the legendary arena dirt that cowboys compete on every July, and one of the key figures who helped bring professional bullfighters to Salinas.

Benny has dedicated decades of his life to making this rodeo what it is today. From the ground up — literally — his fingerprints are all over the California Rodeo Salinas, and this conversation gives you a front row seat to the passion and hard work that goes into building one of the greatest rodeos in the country.

Streaming now on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts.
