A few years ago I attended a colt branding in West Texas. Every July, rancher and Quarter Horse breeder Bill Smith vaccinates and marks the many foals he has raised. The event draws a large crowd, including dozens of cowboys who come to help gather the broodmares and foals. Horsemen like Earnest Wilson (left) and Jimbo Humphreys showed up at dawn, ready to help Smith with the day's work.

Waiting for Daylight

By Western Horseman

October 22, 2015

I recently stumbled across this photo of Wyoming cowboy Will Hudson. If I hadn't shot it, I might have thought it was taken in the 1800s. But this image was shot on the ID Ranch in 2011—that's the 21st century, not the 19th—with a digital camera. With his wooly chaps and tall crown and short-brimmed hat, Hudson, in his early 20s, has a vintage look. The article on the ID Ranch appeared in the May 2012 issue of Western Horseman.
