Synopsis
What is the difference between bronc busting and mustanging? How do you assemble a branding iron? Which items are included in a traditional southern roundup outfit? Why don't American riders on the East Coast use the California method when teaching a horse to stand? You'll find the answers to these questions - and many, many more - in this manual. Drawing on more than seventy years of experience, Fay E. Ward describes the day-to-day life of an old-time cowboy in The Cowboy at Work. This fully illustrated guide provides cowboy and Western enthusiasts with information about making and reading branding marks, rigging packsaddles, "learning" horses to turn, lassoing (backhand, slip, and sneak catches), and choosing the appropriate saddles, horns, forks, stirrups, and chaps for your ride. Ward provides readers with a thorough history of everything from cowboy garb to outfitting materials used by past horse wranglers and rough-string riders.
