" Don't expect me to get off the Ark to argue with someone who doesn't even know it's raining" is another one. . . THINK ABOUT IT, .😇 KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS Y'all ✝️ FAITH OVER FEAR DEAR SAINTS 👍
I went to a huge auction about 40 years ago and found a custom made bronc saddle with the metal horn. Bought it for $120 and it was the best saddle for my lower back. As a young girl, I had a few nasty horse wrecks so was real happy to find a comfortable ride. I still use this saddle. And yes, when you get popped out this rig, you really don't know where you will land. The West has a treasure trove of stories - from the past and present!!!
I could listen to these old cowboy's everyday. Man cannot wait for the next one. Was a Ranch Hand for 5 years in Northern AZ. Right next to the Petrified Forest. Best job i ever had. I learned allot out there. Thank you for sharing great video...
The gentlemen you were interviewing, his hat had the most corrector I have saw in a long time, down to the round vent hole, enjoyed his knowledge believe he is about my age (81?) Thamks
As a daughter of a dairy farmer… it’s a 24/7. By the time you get the milking, feeding and cleaning… it was time to start all over…. You have to love the life!!!! No vacations…. You start at 3am…. Your work ends at maybe 2:30…Then it starts up again at 3/3:30….
Over the years I've always looked at how the old barns and sheds were constructed. The timbers in this barn are simply beautiful. On a side note, I ride an iron horse and don't ever let my guard down.
Fantastic video, i love listening to old cowboys they have the best stories, thank you Trinity for all you do to bring awareness and appreciation of life in the west
I could listen to that man All day everyday while working and never tire of it. Great history and education in all of it. Thanks for getting this for posterity and posting it for all interested. Yeah, 4 wheelers have their place but horse and leather be like driving a vintage car. Nothing compares. Thank you and be safe.
God bless you and your precious loved ones also 😇 We are seeing Bible Prophecy coming to pass before our eyes and we were born for such a time as this. KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS Y'all ✝️ FAITH OVER FEAR DEAR SAINTS 👍 Please know that Jesus Christ has already won this spiritual battle and He is coming back any moment Y'all 🙏😇✝️💜🙏👍
I am a conservator in Texas and had the pleasure of restoring Santa Ana's saddle for the State of Texas a while ago. So, it is with enormous pleasure that I watched (and saved) this episode with the wonderful gentleman telling his tales about the various types of saddles in his barn. Thank you so much!
Thank you s for sharing the truthful and so very interesting stores of our nostalgic past. My grampa was a real cowboy on their cattle ranch in Alberta, Canada. Sure miss him.
Great music choice. Fits the drama of the stories. Great stories. Nothing more dramatic than the truth of someone's history and the older the person, the better the stories.
I’ve never met an old Cowboy that wasn’t busted up. God bless the Cowboy. That tack shed, if it could yarn, could sure tell some stories i think. Thanks fellas. Oh dear, (@5:26) the man says the saddle was from the Dr who delivered his Ma, a Powder River saddle. I only just now finished watching ‘Powder River’ (RU-vid) 1953! Small circle we horseman.
Love those old Hamley saddles. Ranching changed in the last 100 years. I worked on them in my younger years. These stories line up with all the ones I have lived or experienced.
my favorite saddle...the ladies saddle. favorite story...being dragged by the horse. best cowboy novel storyline...dying in the saddle. that's how john dutton should go out in yellowstone. what an ending! loved the stories trinity. you are the best narrator i've heard in quite some time. thanx!
Thank you so much for this video. I have always loved hearing people's stories. As a young physical therapist I moved from PA to CO. I had older patients who told stories of crossing the plains in covered wagons as children, riding in stage coaches to get from Pueblo to Denver. People's lives are fascinating if we take the time to listen.
Loved that video. Old timers are so wise and have great stories. I talk to old timers every chance I get. You can learn more in one hour, than you can doing it yourself in a month.
They stories that he shared with you make me miss my father-in-law he would tell me about when he was a kid and then a young farmer/ rancher he was very diverse he had beef, milk cows and sheep. Even pugs for a while. He was flood irritating over 200 acres as well as butchering for himself and other people. That generation were tough hard working men and women.
Love, love your channel with all of your stories and important facts you bring us…great job!!! Sure wished they would bring those saddles in and protect them better. Would love to know the history and wished there was some of the people who rode in them were still around…can you imagine the stories they would tell us!!! I’ve done a lot of research on my family and was amazed to what I found out and where we came from and where we came into America 🇺🇸. Keep up the great work…sure love what your doing…stay safe and God bless 🥰.
That's right 👍 God has truly blessed and protected and provided for His precious children 😇 We were born for such a time as this, so excited with each day that the Lord gives us. We are seeing Bible Prophecy coming to pass before our eyes 👀
I enjoyed seeing the family saddles and hearing the stories. I worked in a custom saddle shop and always enjoyed restoring well made antique saddles. They were definitely built to work hard and last. The homemade buck rolls. The bear trap and the old tree styles. The 3/4 or 5/8 rigs on the square skirt saddle, the in-skirt rigging on the Hamley saddle, oxbow stirrups and loop through seat was cool. Fine collection! Reminded me of the saddle museum at Kings saddlery Cool stuff! Great video!
That was the fastest 20 min of my day!! Great video - great stories - wonderful saddles! Having had a couple 'wrecks' myself, I cannot imagine what was going through his mind as he was 'skiing' and bouncing '... across the field, the road and through the barbed wire"!! Great stories Trinity! Thank you so much!
What a great video! Seriously, y'all should make a documentary about ranch life & definitely include these two, and other ranchers who can spin yarns about the past, as well as tell it like it is in the here & now. More like this! Very well done!
Great history he has there! Love those old bear trap saddles! Happy the cool old barn didn't burn down! I sure like your videos, thanks for posting them.
I was in my neighbor's barn to see some calves and saw a saddle. They didn't have horses. So I asked if he used to ride. He looked confused and then seemed surprised to see the saddle. "Oh that. That was my grandpa's." It hasn't been used in decades. Their house and barns are filled with things from their grandparents, who were the original homesteaders. There's a lot of history out in the prairies still.
Gosh that takes me back a lot of years. It’s a tough life but we enjoyed every minute both good and bad. Still miss the horses and calving season. Thanks and havagudun boys.
YES!! I am thrilled that you got to chat with that ol' cowboy (I forgot his name) and once again the idle chit-chat is so informational as you guys bounce around subjects & issues dealt with back in the days of the west!! Loved the story of the gentleman who passed on in his saddle! I hope you continue to find these ol leather polishers and bring out the real people of yester-year. Thanks for the latest video and a great day there in that barn - what a great way to spend a day!!
Wow, such a interesting video. Always wanted to farm. Worked on farms in the summer when I was a kid but wasn't born into it. In my 40s now and still trying to afford one.. Hopefully it will happen before its too late for me..
He definitely walks like an ole cowboy. Looks like he's put many a mile on a saddle himself. I'd love to pull up a seat & listen to all the stories that man has to offer. There's so much amazing history learn from the ole timers.
Out west for a family reunion we needed a vet for a cut paw on our dog. Found a random large animal vet from the area who would help out a young couple and their hurt dog from out of town. Turns out he had just bought my mother-in-law's saddle at auction. ❤
Interesting vlog! I have a homestead with cows and goats. Mixed milk products are wonderful. I milk the animals once a day. Cows in the morning, goats at night. Been milking like this for a few decades.
Haha. I've had a dislocated hip (put that on your to avoid list), neck issues from almost getting it broken, torn muscle in my L leg from a horse being ridden by a friend that kicked my horse but also got my leg, and got my R foot turned backward when a horse fell with me. That knocked the wind out of him, so it took a bit for him to get up and release my leg/foot. Now I'm 73. Got lots of random aches. 😁
Cowboy/girls are some of the tuffest ppl I think. Me & my boyfriend are still rookies w/leather tooling. An old biker friend/vet taught us to make belts. I need to push myself to make more different things,there's hundreds of things to be made from leather. I really appreciate the work that goes into a saddle,so much detail. Thank you for showing those. Itz amazing how old those saddles are but so well takin care of. Made to last many generations. I don't know that I will ever make a saddle or cowboy boots,never say never cause you never know. I told 1 well known cowboy boot maker that & I'm still new at making belts. He said don't count yourself out that he started w/making belts. I have thought of if I'm goin to make anything to do w/horses I'd start w/the bridles,that seems more achievable than saddles & something that needs replacing more often. I haven't researched the hardware too much. I do Luv horses what a beautiful powerful creature. When I was 11 I was racing another kid on a horse & I had a passenger,the leather part that goes under the horse to hold the saddle on broke. I flew off landing on my head & neck. I never told my mom,I hid the pain which wasn't easy. It wasn't my horse & I was told not to be riding friend's horses w/out adult supervision. My mom was a single mom of 4 w/no medical insurance. So you can see why I hid that I got hurt from her. I'm lucky I didn't break my neck. Man when you guys talk about getting dragged & thru bobbed wire I'm shaking my head. I've also had a horse take off in a field & it wouldn't stop at 1st. All I know is I pulled bk so hard on those rains as much as I could. My boyfriend has never been on a horse but wants to try riding one some day. He's goin to need the most oldest mellowest horse there is. Our dogs & cats don't really listen to him the way they do w/me. Well behaved for the most part w/me. I told him if you ride a horse they will know if you are a push over. I've only been around horses for a small amount of time in my life but enough to know the steps to saddle a horse,that a horse won't leave once you put the hay out & they are powerful enough you could get hurt or worse. My best friend in Jr High from a horse family had half of a horse shoe print/scar on the side of her head. The story with that was she was probably 5 or younger,her dad was putting shoes on the horse & my friend walked around the back of the horse & got kicked. So lucky to be alive. Even before I met her there was the golden rule not to walk behind a horse,how I knew that I don't know. L&R
