Road to the Horse kicks off this weekend, March 18–20, in Lexington, Kentucky. I captured this image at the colt-starting competition several years ago. It's cowboys of the Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas, bringing the young horses into the coliseum. Each year, Road to the Horse contestants select which horse they will start under saddle for the competition, and for the past several years the Four Sixes has provided the stock.

Sixes in the Spotlight

March 16, 2016

Bill Gentle (left) and Michael Martin visit while trotting in pouring rain. I was attending a clinic in Wyoming taught by Kevin Meyer, and a thunderstorm barreled over the mountains just as we were finishing working cattle. We hurried back to camp to dodge the lightning, and as my mare trotted along, I shot photos of riders in front. I kept my camera semi-dry by holding under my slicker as much as possible. Despite the inclement weather, everyone seemed to enjoy trotting and loping in the rain. It sure resulted in cool photos.

Discussion in a Downpour

March 10, 2016

I had been having a tough day on the CS Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Getting photos had been a challenge for a variety of reasons. But as the day came to a close and storm clouds began to gather, scenes I had never imagined began to unfold. Photographer David Stoecklein once told me that bad weather creates some of the greatest photos. He was right. These horses were much more concerned with me than the thunder and strong winds. And by nightfall, everyone was happy to get a rain shower.

Eric Eichorn of the Waggoner Ranch demonstrates Greyt Big Diamonds at the Best of the Remuda Sale in 2012. The auction in Fort Worth each January features horses consigned by legendary ranches. The 2007 mare sold to the Four Sixes Ranch for $11,500.

Cutter Jones prepares to throw a hoolihan loop to catch his bay gelding on the Tongue River Ranch near Dumont, Texas. I shot this in 2008 while working on a series of horsemanship articles for our young readers. Cutter and his brothers, along with their dad, Stony Jones, now live on the nearby Pitchfork Ranch. I suspect that by now Cutter has that hoolihan down pat.
