I've always received a lot of great compliments on my threads showing cowboy life and the leather we use on a daily basis. Over the years there have been numerous documentaries that have tried to show this. Most have fallen short or got lost.

Here is a six minute trailer that is taking our world by storm. People are really liking it. Somebody finally got it. Know some of the guys in it. My son has worked with several. Have your speakers on, the music is great and the words from the cowboys themselves profound. To keep on point lots of leather in this outfit being used.

Let me know what ya think.
 
Looks amazing! There is a movie on Netflix called "Unbranded" I highly recomend it if you haven't seen it yet.

I grew up around horses. Worked for an outfit during the summers all through high school called Redd Ranches. They used to A.I. thier cows trying to breed for bulls as to this day their big money maker is a bull sale they hold every year. I rode "heat" all summer for 3 summers, taking cows that were in heat to the breeder pens. Some of the best times of my life. Worked an hour before sun-up until an hour after dark every day for $50 per day. I loved parts of it, but I'm glad I'm not a cowboy anymore. Getting hurt is part of that life style. It's not a matter of "if" you get hurt, only a matter of when in that line of work. Some of the worst wrecks I've seen had some of the best horses in the world involved.

Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding Dave!!! Well Done!!!
 
Thanks guys.

Todd part way through there is a guy that steps down off his horse when it rears up. If ya look close ya can see that the horse has his right front tied up with a one legged hobble. When my son first showed me this trailer he pointed that out and told me he had one like that in his string (group of horses assigned to a particular cowboy) on one of the ranches he was on in OR. He'd put that one legged hobble on and after about 2-3 miles the horse was usually good to go. Just a little tough at first. Yep no doubt we all have our aches and pains for sure.

Not a single "aw shucks"either Jason, "dang it all."
