The Best One There: Brian Beaver’s $900K Old West Purchase

Brian Beaver did not start roping until he was 50, but he has spent the years since learning from some of the best horsemen and riding some of the best horses in the business.

On this episode of The Score, Beaver talks about the friendship he has built with Trevor Brazile and Miles Baker and the confidence he has in their Relentless Remuda program. After owning horses including Captain, Dagger and Clubhouse, Beaver returned to Heber City, Utah, with one goal: He and his wife, Nancy, were going home with the best horse in the sale.

They left with Relentless Empire, the $900,000 high seller. The mare is by Show Me The Buckles and out of Relentless Glory, a horse Beaver had watched throughout her time in the Relentless program. Once he saw the cross, he knew she was the one he wanted.

Beaver also talks about the success he has had on Relentless-trained horses, the criticism that can come with spending big money and why his relationship with Brazile, Baker and their families means far more than simply buying horses.
