  • Old cowboy wisdom and stories from a real Montana ranch in Montana. Dave managed a Montana Ranch for over 40 years. There are some saddles in his barn that have stories to tell. Let's hear them.

    I went to a huge auction about 40 years ago and found a custom made bronc saddle with the metal horn. Bought it for $120 and it was the best saddle for my lower back. As a young girl, I had a few nasty horse wrecks so was real happy to find a comfortable ride. I still use this saddle. And yes, when you get popped out this rig, you really don't know where you will land.
    The West has a treasure trove of stories - from the past and present!!!

    As a daughter of a dairy farmer… it’s a 24/7. By the time you get the milking, feeding and cleaning… it was time to start all over…. You have to love the life!!!! No vacations…. You start at 3am…. Your work ends at maybe 2:30…Then it starts up again at 3/3:30….

    They stories that he shared with you make me miss my father-in-law he would tell me about when he was a kid and then a young farmer/ rancher he was very diverse he had beef, milk cows and sheep. Even pugs for a while. He was flood irritating over 200 acres as well as butchering for himself and other people. That generation were tough hard working men and women.

    Thank you so much for this video. I have always loved hearing people's stories. As a young physical therapist I moved from PA to CO. I had older patients who told stories of crossing the plains in covered wagons as children, riding in stage coaches to get from Pueblo to Denver. People's lives are fascinating if we take the time to listen.

  • @CrossTimbersSon

    I enjoyed seeing the family saddles and hearing the stories.
    I worked in a custom saddle shop and always enjoyed restoring well made antique saddles.
    They were definitely built to work hard and last.
    The homemade buck rolls. The bear trap and the old tree styles.
    The 3/4 or 5/8 rigs on the square skirt saddle, the in-skirt rigging on the Hamley saddle, oxbow stirrups and loop through seat was cool.
    Fine collection!
    Reminded me of the saddle museum at Kings saddlery
    Cool stuff!
    Great video!

    I was in my neighbor's barn to see some calves and saw a saddle. They didn't have horses. So I asked if he used to ride. He looked confused and then seemed surprised to see the saddle. "Oh that. That was my grandpa's." It hasn't been used in decades.
    Their house and barns are filled with things from their grandparents, who were the original homesteaders. There's a lot of history out in the prairies still.

    I’ve done a lot of research on my family and was amazed to what I found out and where we came from and where we came into America 🇺🇸.
