This episode of The Ride Podcast where we talk to Tanner Sperle is brought to you by Tribute Equine.
Tanner Sperle didn’t plan on making ranch sorting his career — he planned on finishing an accounting degree. But a flyer on a bulletin board, a grade paint horse that wouldn’t take a bridle, and a closet-sized room behind a bathroom at a ranch in Tucson changed all of that.

In this episode of The Ride, Sperle tells the story of how a kid from south of Denver who grew up on mountain horses and oak hunting found his way into one of the fastest-growing cattle sports in the country—and eventually into running its biggest events.
Sperle walks through what it actually takes to build a world-class ranch sorting event from the ground up, and explains how the magic works when nobody in the stands can see how it’s made.
He also opens up about what keeps him grounded in the sport after nearly a decade on the road: the sorters he’s watched start families, the community that hooked up a trailer when his truck caught fire on the highway, and the faith he says quietly placed him exactly where he was supposed to be. For Sperle, ranch sorting was never just a job — it was the people.
