Ream met Taylor Sheridan when Sheridan and his wife responded to an ad for one of Ream's horses. Ream had no idea that Sheridan was famous. After a period of working together, they were at a horse show when the secretary of the cutting horse association asked Ream how he knew Sheridan. After learning of Sheridan's celebrity, Ream went out to the horse trailer and said to Sheridan, "so, you're some famous guy or something?" Later, Ream would become an integral part of Sheridan's TV show, Yellowstone.
