The Sport's Own Publication Takes Notice
Barrel Horse News — the leading publication in barrel racing — has featured 4M Equine Ranch in a major press release announcing the world premiere of Outriding the Devil during National Finals Rodeo week in Las Vegas.
Published November 13, 2025, the feature confirms what the barrel racing world is already talking about: 4M Equine Ranch is a named co-producer of one of the most anticipated Western films in years — a docudrama built around arguably the greatest comeback story in rodeo history.
Barrel Horse News is not a general Western lifestyle publication. It is the publication for barrel racing — the trade press of the sport. When Barrel Horse News covers a story, it reaches the exact audience that matters most: competitors, breeders, trainers, and industry professionals who make up the core of the barrel racing world.
What Barrel Horse News Reported
The press release announced that Outriding the Devil will make its red carpet premiere on December 9, 2025, at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas — during the heart of NFR week.
The film centers on Angela Ganter, Texas Rodeo Hall of Famer and world champion barrel racer, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and spent a decade fighting her way from death's door back to the winner's circle. Barrel Horse News called it "arguably the greatest comeback in rodeo history."
Yellowstone star Mo Brings Plenty said it best: "Outriding the Devil is no ordinary movie. It's the most amazing true story."
Seven-time NFR qualifier and WPRA World Champion Fallon Taylor added: "This is not just a great cowgirl story. This is one of the great untold Western stories."
A Cast Built for the Western World
The film is narrated by Forrie J. Smith (Yellowstone), with current PRCA All-Around World Champion Shad "Money" Mayfield making his acting debut. The cast also includes Lily Wright (daughter of PRCA World Champion Cody Wright), Fallon Taylor, Stetson Wright, Ky Hamilton, Zeke Thurston, Haven Meged, and ProRodeo Hall of Famer Bob Tallman.
The premiere evening is hosted by Mo Brings Plenty with live performances from two-time GRAMMY nominee Radney Foster and GRAMMY nominee Pauline Reese.
The production is credited to Erin E. Mitchell and 4M Equine Ranch, directed by multi-award winner Raen LeVell.
Visibility That Comes From Doing Something That Matters
Being named co-producer in a Barrel Horse News press release places 4M Equine Ranch at the center of one of the biggest cultural moments the sport has seen — a film premiere during the National Finals Rodeo, the super bowl of Western competition, covered by the sport's most respected publication.
That kind of visibility does not come from advertising. It comes from doing something that matters — from co-producing a film that the barrel racing community is rallying around before it even hits screens.
