Episode notes

Five-time PRCA World Champion steer wrestler Luke Branquinho spent more than two decades living life on the road. From overnight drives between rodeos to hauling horses thousands of miles across the country, Luke knows the reality of travel better than most.

In this episode of the Wandering Gypsy RV Life Podcast, Stan sits down with Luke to talk about the surprising overlap between rodeo travel and RV life. They discuss everything from long overnight hauls and equipment maintenance to finding places to park rigs and care for horses on the road.

Luke also shares the story behind RV Connect, a new platform designed to help travelers and rodeo competitors find RV parks, horse stalls, and reservations in one place.

Along the way, the conversation covers:

• What life was really like traveling 300 days a year on the rodeo circuit

• The logistics behind hauling horses and living out of a truck and trailer

• Equipment maintenance lessons learned from millions of miles on the road

• Favorite rodeo towns across the country

• The challenge of finding places to park rigs and stable horses

• Luke’s new ventures include RV Connect, Lazy T Ranch Beef Jerky, and The Luke Branquinho Show

Whether you travel in a motorhome, a living-quarters horse trailer, or just love stories from the road, this episode is a look at how the rodeo world and the RV lifestyle share the same highways.
