LX Ranch: Selecting Fresh Horses For Spring Roundup 2005 

Yes, it is good to see outfits that take great care of their horses and work them enough to keep them from getting lazy or bored but not so much that they get worn out. All of these horses seem to really enjoy getting saddled up and going to work. There are a few in the remuda who have been retired and yet they will often line up at the fence and watch the younger ones show off their stuff.

Wonderful! I have never been to Hawaii but would love to cover a ranch there and gather up some stories. I believe most horses enjoy the work as much as we do.

@@DustyReinsStories: You might want to check-out a well-documented ranching family from the Island of Hawaii, The Parker Ranch. Dr. Billy Bergin (Ranch Historian and Veternarian), wrote a book called "Loyal to the Land The Legendary Parker Ranch" You can purchase the book through Amazon. I've met him on the island of Maui, back in the year of 1974, my uncle was the supervisor for the ranch that I was raised on and Dr. Bergin used to fly over from the Big Island of Hawaii to check on the artificial-insemination cattle breeding & livestock operations. If you ever do make plans to cover a ranch stories from Hawaii, I suggest you go and check with the Parker Ranch main office (cattle operations) on the Island of Hawaii, I'm certain they'll be able to assist you, also, it is a full-time working cattle ranch, so scheduling is a must for an heads-up advanced call.

i will be spending more time with cattlemen as well as farmers in the Texas Panhandle this year. I hope I am able to document aspects of Ranch Life and Farm Life.

Florida born & raised & I live in Wyoming now! No amount of money in the world would have me chasing the city life again! Think about the years you spend waiting in traffic, alone. Probably years gone just sitting waiting at lights, etc. Precious time

Hope to have more working ranch videos coming soon!

Can't wait to watch them, thank you for the heads up. Very best to you folks!

The LX can afford some really nice Quarter Horse bloodlines as it has been raising cattle for about 125 years but does not have their own horse breeding program.

The happiest horses seem to be those who get to work for a living without being abused in the process. These horses love working the cattle and all the riders are well seasoned in the working saddle.

Yes they are

Nice horses

Looks more like a dunskin to me. Beautiful regardless

I saw that one too and l like it. Very nice.

I prefer to not add any elements to this type of video. But it was quite windy that day and I did not have a proper windscreen on the microphone I was using. I only added the music because the wind noise was too much of an irritating distraction. Glad you liked the music I added.

There are many kinds of ropes available and every roper has their preference for the type of roping they do. You may want to look at the different types of rope available from Cactus Ropes. www.cactusropes.com/

O LX é realmente um belo rancho!

Hey, money isn't everything!

The LX is one of the historic ranches of Texas. Lee Bivins began his cattle empire during the late 1800's and eventually became one of the largest landholders in North America. The ranch today reflects many of the traditions carried over from the cattle barons of the Great Plains.

Dusty Reins Stories how may acres of land and horses are required to start up a ranch in the initial stage (at a minimum of course). I would be very grateful if you could please reply to my queries. I'm from a hilly region from India.

This is a historic ranch, established after 1875.after the Red River War and it is located north of Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle.

The ranch foreman and section managers are doing the choosing. They work with the horses every day so they know them well. And they know which ones need more working experience and are fresh to work all day..

A big factor is which horses need to be worked to keep them from getting lazy. Another factor is that some of the cowboys know how to handle the horses so they become better at their jobs so they get paired up. Some of the younger horses just need more working experience.

True, and darn near impossible to rope off of and hard on the human's tailbone too!

Moving a remuda into a pen is not that difficult and note how the hands will work together to keep the horses calmed down and restrict movement in the pen while the sorting takes place. Teamwork.

Obrigado senhor!

@@DustyReinsStories mim inscrevi no canal pois amo cavalos e são lindos esses aí, que país é esse EUA?

@@kleitonsantossantos7345Yes, this cattle ranch is a historic ranch located just north of Amarillo, Texas. I will have many more videos featuring horses (babies too) in the coming months.

I personally like longer legs for range work.

RD go stir up shit somewhere else

rd you are just another cowboy hater

no most of my friends are ranch hands, but i've seen enough of the heavy handed ones and women as well. and i've been in enough situations, where my boss asked me to settle a horse, that was a abused. so yea talk your crap but you know what i am saying is true

Well pardner there are shit heads in EVERY industry and they are hard on Equipment, animals, the environment and other people! This video just shows a portion of a day in these cowboys lives selecting their mounts for the day! I understand your point, but it is also pointless to bring it up for this video unless your butt hurt about something well then TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE !

Ranch hands usually get fired and don't get good recommendations when asked for. Family members are a different story.

I cannot say for certain but this is a wealthy historic ranch and I am almost certain the remuda is made up of 100% registered American Quarter Horses.

Dusty Reins Stories ok because I would be interested in buying one

@@victoria_brewer BoDee Baldwin is the best known horse broker in the Texas Panhandle and he would be the best way to find a suitable working ranch horse in the region. Here is a link to his Facebook business page. - facebook.com/Baldwin-Horse-Co-333064817330547/

He’s a cowboy with no belt. That help?

This is a real-life experience that cowboys and cowgirls have been experiencing ever since The open range was fenced in.
