Here's a couple more. I was riding for the a7 Ranch. One of the oldest family owned still in Canada. The brand was registered by A E Cross in the 1880's. He was one of the founding 4 members of the Calgary Stampede.

That is one heck of a race. Only real cowboys need apply.

Here's a couple of old pics from my rodeo days. I'm on the white horse. Team roping; my partner ropes the head, and if all goes well I rope 2 back heels. Do it in 6 seconds or less and you're in the money...

A few more. Labels on the photos. Feel free to tell me to stop anytime...I just got looking thru old pics on my phone. One pic is of me (in center of photo) sorting cows. It shows you the size of the landscape around you. I'm riding a red dun colored mare we just lost last summer. "Magic" was my go-to horse for big 12 hour days. Lots of heart. We miss her. She was with us 13 years.

You have the life!

Country that big could make a man feel small.....or like he was on top of the world.

Thanks for all the nice photos, I am certainly enjoying them. It does look to be a great way of life.

My workbench. A custom made rig by Lyle Henderson of Platte Valley Saddle Shop in Nebraska. He's built lots of gear for me over the years. I was actually in his shop back in summer '83. When I finally wanted a custom saddle in 2005 I called him. Nice family owned business since the 1940's.

ps....brass conchos and my nice brass stirrups will match the brass on the new Henry...
