Spring Works on The Bell Ranch: Reviving Tradition Part 1 

Thanks for watching

Thanks John for watching and sharing the story

You took the words right out of my mouth John. Watched all of those shows as kid too. I still watch them lol it's safe to say that you're a Wishbone fan. And Kent & Shannon Rollins fans at the top of are lists as well. Congrats on 66 this year too!

My mother loved to tell the story of how I asked her when I had learned to talk; "Mama is my name Bub?" Later on, I was known as Cowboy Joe, due to my boots, hat and six guns.

You've got that right! I "worked" (or, rather, volunteered) with an enormous, black, Percheron named Star with hooves the size of giant dinner plates at a therapeutic riding place for kids. I was teaching the kids the parts of a horse and how to groom them when I noticed that one girl was far more shy and withdrawn than usual. I asked what was wrong and she said her puppy had died. We talked, one-on-one for a bit about pets and how it hurts so badly when they pass on like that, even grown ups shed tears, but we should be happy they were with us for a while. We went back to working with Star but the girl remained off to the side. For some reason, I asked if she would like to give Star a hug. She quietly said no, but a young boy jumped up and hugged Star's neck. That broke the ice and the girl did the same. That enormous, 16.5 hand horse gently laid her head all the way down the little girl's back, hugged her in close and "held" her there for a brief moment. HOW do horses sense these things? I won't say the girl was happy after that moment but she was far more at ease and relaxed. Yes, horses in general are incredible therapy and have far more savvy and awareness than most folks recognize. This particular Percheron named Star was truly a shining Star. Yes, sir. God really did good when He made horses. Thank you, Kent for your adherance to God, Country and Family. I truly love your videos.

This city life ain't for me - people scared to even look at one another. #LoneStarLondoner

I would take his word too, from across the pond. His*

Thanks Pete, it is good country, would have loved to have met your grandfather

Thanks so much Buster

Atshiflett thanks so much for watching we appreciate your imput

He’s got over 1 million subs now! 😌

This comment aged like milk in a dead heffers teat on an old dirt road. So great to see how much the channel has grown! Yee haw!

Thanks Dee for spreading the word

Thanks so much

I totally agree on both counts. And as for smart phones and tablets, they have already turned everyone into walking zombies staring into them every where they go. I think everyone should spend time on camp with Kent with NO smart phone. Guess how much better life would be.

Thanks Aaron for watching and God bless you

Thanks Marc for watching

Marc, are you related to any Stauffers?

My Grandfather was Oliver Stauffer of Humboldt, Nebraska and owned a large farm. My father was Carl William Stauffer. He taught Vo-Ag/FFA/industrial arts in Kansas, in Sandy, The Dalles and Central Point, Oregon. My dad had several brothers and sisters in the mid west and in Washington. -Marc

Oh I didn't know.😼

Thank you Gilbert and God bless you as well

Thanks so much for watching and God bless you, and Merry Christmas

@@CowboyKentRollins I've been using cast iron skillet and a cast iron dutch oven ever since I started watching your videos. Thanks Kent and Shannon and friends and family.

Thanks Steve for watching

A good bunch they are

Thanks Ricky and its very satisfying to see folks enjoy what they are eating

Thanks so much Jay, Them old ways are still in use you just can't see them form the interstate. We have a video on our favorite tools. Hope you enjoy the cookbook

@@CowboyKentRollins and Jay Davis -- Well said, both of you. Those are my sentiments as well and that's one reason my driving speeds have slowed down now that I'm older. I now actually prefer to drive the slower back roads and see parts of the country I'd almost forgotten about. Kent, your videos extend your reach. Not only do you keep the cowboy-way alive out on the range, but you reach into the hearts and minds of countless kindred spirits. Much of the cowboy spirit is deeply in tune with the Christian spirit. Keep fanning that flame. We also need to keep praying for our country and its leaders. Whether or not we like their choices and methods, they need to know God and to know that, ultimately, He is still in command.

Thanks Angela
