Ep. 17 | Trail Twats, TikTok Fame & Real Ranch Life Collide

This episode is what happens when two completely different worlds meet… and realize they’re not that different after all. We’ve got Andi and Beans from the “Trail Twats” in the house—coming all the way from Florida—and things get real, fast. What starts as a casual conversation about meeting people on Facebook turns into a deep (and hilarious) dive into viral content, trail riding culture, and what it actually means to live the ranch life versus posting about it. From building a social media following from scratch to riding 20,000 acres of state forest every week, these girls aren’t just internet personalities—they’re out there doing it. And yeah… sometimes that includes White Claws, saddlebags, and going viral for all the wrong (or right) reasons. Meanwhile, the ranch doesn’t stop. In the middle of the episode, we’re literally buying steers, planning a ranch versatility competition, and talking through what separates amateurs, novices, and people who just send it. We also get into: How the Trail Twats started (and why the name stuck) Going from 7,000 to nearly 80,000 followers in months The reality behind “viral” horse content Ranch work vs. social media perception The dynamics of riding groups and why not everyone makes the cut Competing in a ranch course when you’ve never ridden the horse And a surprise segment turning hate comments into a full-blown country song This one’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and exactly what the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast is about—real people, real horses, and real talk. Because at the end of the day… The work still gets done.
