Reset hits the road and heads to South Shore for a day of barrel racing and horse tricks. The Broken Arrow Riding Club’s Speed and Action Rodeo and Horse Show is an annual event that puts a spotlight on the city’s little-known cowboy scene.

We talk to documentarian Charles Perry; Murdock, director and president of Broken Arrow Horseback Riding Club; and club members Amber Leslie, Korey Flowers, and Devyn Branscomb.
