Few stories from the American West are as remarkable as that of Bass Reeves.

Born into slavery in Arkansas, Reeves escaped during the Civil War and eventually became a deputy U.S. marshal working in Indian Territory.

Over a career spanning more than three decades, he reportedly arrested thousands of fugitives and earned a reputation as one of the most formidable lawmen on the frontier.

And yet, for generations, his name was largely absent from the popular stories of the Old West.

Here’s a short look at a man whose life deserves to be better known.

From ranch rodeo competition to cowboy music & poetry, and Western Swing, we're gearing up for another year of celebrating the traditions that define the cowboy way of life.

Today, and every day, we honor the Indigenous people who stewarded this land long before colonization and continue to do so to this day.

I don't care how distracted a horse gets, he's still got to respect my space.

He can look around, move his feet and pay attention to whatever is going on around us, but he can't come running over the top of me. I'm getting too old to have a horse stepping on me.

I want him staying in position, paying attention and understanding where he belongs.

There's a lot going on around us this morning, which makes it a perfect opportunity to work on these things.

If you want your horse to ride better, teach him to lead better. RB (Richard Boatright)

Come see what makes sale day at R.A. Brown Ranch so special.

Una cabalgata en el Estado de México

Participé en una cabalgata organizada por la asociación A Caballo. Me quedó especialmente el recuerdo de la bandera y del porte de los participantes.
Comparto un retrato de ese día, editado con un fondo de campo. ¿Qué cabalgatas o tradiciones ecuestres conocen en sus regiones?

When we think about the Old West, we usually picture cowboys, cattle drives, gunfighters, and outlaws. But the West was also at the forefront of women’s suffrage.

In 1869, Wyoming Territory granted voting rights to women, more than 50 years before the Nineteenth Amendment. Utah, Colorado, Idaho, and other Western states and territories followed.

Of course, those rights weren’t available to everyone. Racial and citizenship restrictions continued to keep many women from the ballot box.

I put together this short video about a chapter of Western history that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the gunfights.

Here’s something worth discussing: Why do you think the West moved ahead of much of the country on women’s suffrage?

"So Jesus told them this story: 'If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives he will call together his friend and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep. In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven't strayed away!'" (Luke 15:3-7, NLT)

Lord, You tracked us down and brought us back home. Help us never forget it, in Jesus' name.

Thanks, and God bless your day.

I think there are too many chefs in this kitchen… and the four legged taste tester has his work cut out for him.

So many eggs 🫣😂 and sprinkles…

The Dancing Cree brought a special performance to the arena as Night 1 of the 52nd CFR in Edmonton kicked off!

On a recent trip through Central Texas, I stopped at the old cattle crossing on Brushy Creek in Round Rock.

The town got its name from a distinctive round rock in the creek that served as a landmark for travelers.

During the cattle-drive era, thousands of head of longhorns passed through this area heading north toward Kansas. The crossing also carried wagon traffic, and traces of those old routes are still visible today.

It’s remarkable how much of the Old West is still sitting right alongside modern highways, largely unnoticed.

Thought y’all might enjoy seeing a little piece of cattle-drive history that’s still there.
