The rope horse futurities are thriving today, with one of the biggest futurity weeks of the year kicking off Oct. 18, 2023, in Fort Worth at the American Rope Horse Futurity Association World Championship. In honor of futurity week and the event that started it all, Dakota Kirchenschlager joins The Score.

Dakota is a past champ of the ARHFA, a three-time NFR qualifier and a Roping.com coach with very user-friendly practice sessions with Brad Lund. Dakota joins The Score to talk about the head and heel horses he's got at the futurity and how his business has evolved over the years. Dakota has changed a lot over the years from when he first made the NFR in 2013 with Spencer Mitchell to the horseman he is known for today.
