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.
