Teton Ridge

Teton Ridge is a multi-platform, wholly American-owned brand and media company devoted to the iconic American western way of life and western sports. Founded in 2019 by Thomas Tull and Mark Walter, the company was established with the primary goal of growing the reach and impact of Western culture. Teton Ridge is committed to celebrating the spirit of the iconic American West and preserving its rich heritage for future generations. The company's operations are diversified across several divisions, including sports, media, entertainment, lifestyle, and equine programs, creating an omnichannel presence in the Western market. Teton Ridge's sports division focuses on elevating classic Western sports on a global stage, aiming to broaden their audience. A significant move in this direction was the acquisition of 'The American Rodeo' in 2021, a premier event in the rodeo circuit. This was followed by the strategic acquisition of The Cowboy Channel, The Cowgirl Channel, and The Cowboy Channel+ streaming service, which established Teton Ridge as the largest rights holder in the Western sports sector.

In addition to its sports properties, Teton Ridge has made significant investments in media and entertainment. The company owns Cowboys & Indians Magazine, a prominent publication covering the Western lifestyle, and operates Teton Ridge Entertainment, a full-service film and television studio based in Los Angeles. This division is responsible for producing content that tells the stories of the American West, such as the short film series 'Window to the West.' The company also operates the TR9 Ranch, a state-of-the-art equine facility in Texas, which is central to its performance horse programs and commitment to the breeding and training of elite Quarter Horses. Through these varied initiatives, from live sporting events and media broadcasting to content production and equine excellence, Teton Ridge strives to offer authentic and engaging experiences that honor the traditions of the American West while driving its growth and shaping the future of Western sports and culture for generations to come. The company also has a philanthropic foundation that supports land stewardship and the preservation of cultural heritage.
