Brothers Troupe and Henry Trice
Every show will also highlight a worthy cause, and this first show introduces us to 5-year-old Henry Trice, whose family has struggled to pay his medical bills after he received a heart transplant two years ago. Henry’s aunt rides with Kyle, and Kyle said Henry loves coming to clinics at his farm and interacting with the horses.
Henry has had some additional health complications recently, and Kyle is encouraging anyone who listens to the show to learn more about Henry and consider donating to help the family.
