Who is the American Cowboy?
He’s the retired bull rider who drives semi trucks for a living now and picks up a rope on the weekends
He’s the teenage boy who craves working cattle and living life on the ranch
He’s the rodeo coach who helps build up athletes and get them to their fullest potential
He’s the rookie going down the rodeo trail chasing his gold buckle dreams
He’s the world champion who’s been there done that
He’s the little boy practicing his rope tricks everyday in hopes of becoming one of the greats
He’s the man with a 9-5 job but still makes time for his horses
He’s the ol’ rancher who has endless stories about his time on a plethora of ranches
He’s the ranch rodeo guy who handles a rope and a horse better than anyone you’ve probably ever seen in your life
I’ve met each and everyone of these men and to say they all embody the cowboy spirit would be an understatement
He is gritty
He is strong
He is fearless
He is the American Cowboy
So here’s to the cowboys who love us, impact us, and who have made us who we are
Until next time,
