Travis then shows off the horse by showing off his horse riding skills – a western-style equestrian sport that is often seen Yellowstonewhich is based on the skills traditionally used in livestock trading and farming.

“Okay, yeah, I understand,” Beth admits after looking at the display case.

Hadid has competed in a number of cutting competitions, including the $50,000 National Cutting Horse Association Limited Amateur event at Sheridan’s own Bosque Ranch, which was also featured in the episode. She also joined Sheridan and Yellowstone Actors Ian Bohen, Jen Landon, Forrie J. Smith and Mo Brings Plenty attend the NCHA Celebrity Cutting charity event in Fort Worth in late November.
