My latest project is called "The Ropes and the Reins - the making of a cowboy" .
This covers all aspects of the working and the rodeo cowboy from the youngsters to the retirees.
The finished show should
be ready in late 2012 although much work has already been completed revolving
around the working cowboys of the Gang and O’Keefe ranches as well as the
Never 2 Fast ranch in Oklahoma. Let's not forget the youngsters
of the Little Britches rodeos from the BC Interior to Langley and the Hope to
Cloverdale pony express. Williams Lake and Cloverdale rodeos are the source for much of my resource material on the
Rodeo Cowboy.
