Chris Dawson works a cow for a Western Horseman photo shoot in 2007. This was shot at Carol Rose Quarter Horses in Gainseville, Texas. Since then, Dawson has become one of the top reined cow horse trainers in the business.

Christmas Break

By Kelli Neubert

A surprise snow shower hit the CA Ranch during weaning one year in October. The cowboys kept working through the heavy flakes, while I crouched just outside the corral and pointed my camera through the weathered fence boards.

Sorting in the Snow

There are a handful of stallions who I have felt privileged to photograph. Sadly, one of them died December 9, 2015. Playgun was humanely euthanized due to complications from old age. He was shown successfully in cutting competition by Dick Pieper in non-pro competition and by Jody Galyean in the open division. He went on to become one of the top sires in the industry under the ownership of Dick and Brenda Pieper of Marrietta, Oklahoma. His foals won big money in cutting, reined cow horse, ranch versatility and other events. I photographed Playgun at the Piepers' home in 2011.

It's easy to focus on a sale horse's current state but forget to consider its potential.

Riding with a War Bridle

By Kelli Neubert

December 1, 2015

One of my favorite stories to write was "Cowhands of the CA," published in the January 2010 issue of Western Horseman. While outfits in Montana face a diminishing supply of experienced cowboys, the historic CA Ranch continues to operate because of the long-standing dedication of four seasoned day-workers. The men, around retirement age, are also good friends. Here, Marc Brogger and Lyle Jordan visit during a break in cattle work.
