Western Life & Its Creatures

What can one say. Cowboys, horses, the smell of leather. Wide open spaces, a simpler time. Hard work, neighbors, community.

The incredible art that goes into knot work for bridles. The pride in the gear. Manners, respect, care of our gear. I would say I once “ owned” two mares but the truth is that they are who provided for me.

Anyone who has had a relationship with a horse has been changed forever. You can not force a 1200 pound creature with a mind of its own. You can let go of your ego and work with it. Learn their language. My trainer used to tell me that my mare could notice my …***hole tightening and relaxing. So let go of that need to control and look to them to know your way.
