Cowboy foresight ensures clean roping run,
With focus on gear, as a matter of course,
Because his horse knows what needs to get done.
Good strategy means partnership with horse.

During our years on the High Plains of Eastern New Mexico, rodeos were exciting waypoints in the cultural fabric of the Western way of life. Cowboys entered the rodeo arena with clear plans, well-prepared gear and horses, as well as a can-do mindset ready to execute a high speed task with precision and control.
