Yellowstone Season 1 And 4 Featured A Cameo From One Of The Best Horsemen In The World – Looper

As for Fappani’s “Yellowstone” appearances, the famed horseman appears in a single Season 1 episode as well as one in Season 4. Though no last name is assigned to him on the show, Fappani essentially appears as himself, and does so alongside Taylor Sheridan’s sharp-tongued, rodeo-loving cowboy Travis Wheatley. Fappani’s first season appearance came in episode 5, entitled “Coming Home,” when Travis is showcasing horses for the Dutton faction. The three-time Nation Horse Reigning Association Futurity champ rides up on a $5 sorrel stallion by the name of Lil Joe Cash, and proceeds to dazzle the onlooking Dutton’s with a true showman’s stretch of saddle work.

Fappani’s Season 4 appearance came in episode 4, entitled “Winning or Learning.” In it, Travis and fan-favorite Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) are hard at work at a rodeo circuit event. Fappani has no dialogue in the episode, but if you’ve seen him in the saddle as a competitor, you’ll recognize know his skill and prowess. If you like what you see in Andrea Fappani’s brief “Yellowstone” cameos, you might be interested in checking out “The Last Cowboy” as well. Produced by Sheridan, the reality competition series puts Fappani and a handful of other renowned riders front and center. Watching Fappani at work in “The Last Cowboy,” it gives the viewer an even larger sample size of his talent.

It remains to be seen whether “Yellowstone” fans will see Andrea Fappani ride again for the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch crew. But given his ongoing friendship with Taylor Sheridan, it seems likelier than not.
