I can attribute most things good in my life back to horses.
I mean, they really are part of our history.
They're forgotten and you no longer have to have one.
There's something about a running horse.
I mean, truly, it is a sight to see.
I think they represent freedom.
Why don't you clean your glasses when you steer, would you?
Huh?
When my boys are with me, I love to have them together
and just kind of disappear without disappearing.
That won't fit your pony.
Watch out.
You watch out.
Whoa.
Is that what I want?
Hold it like this.
Hey.
No.
You can get your hand bit.
Okay, pull over.
Now boys, go sit on that wood fence over there on the other side.
Right there.
I take advantage of every opportunity I can to do stuff with my kids,
especially stuff that I know how to do.
So it turns out I'm pretty good at this horse stuff.
I didn't really speak to him about what it is I was doing.
He's just watched me do it enough that I think he'll get it.
Is he the bucker?
Mm-hmm.
All right, Mike.
Little Rome Riding Hood.
From 100 years ago to today, the number of horses has diminished considerably.
You've got confines of fences, property ownership, and urban sprawl.
There's just less and less land for the horses.
Without the horse, who the hell knows where we'd be?
I mean, they really are part of our history.
We came west on their back.
Get off.
Michael, grab your bridle. Come on.
I can attribute most things good in my life back to horse.
It's all because my dad and my grandpa put me on a horse when I was little.
It probably makes you a little different than most, you know.
Why, we're going to go fast?
Well, hopefully not terribly fast.
Be tight.
When we moved that big herd of horses, probably 450 horses, and my boys were helping me.
You know the thundery sound?
Yeah.
I mean, both those boys out there, they were in awe just of that sound.
I mean, let alone the sight of all these horses, I mean, it shook the ground.
And that's cool.
Whoa.
Okay, guys.
I want to haze them down to that gate.
They're going.
Whoa, that sounds awesome.
And who the hell am I or anybody else to rid the planet of that?
What do you think of that, boys?
That's not what a lot of people get to see.
Let's go push them back.
All right.
Don't let him fall back on you.
Sometimes if you don't look at him in the eye, it makes a difference.
As they get older, and especially Mike now is the oldest I can see, I mean, it's in him.
Whether he'll choose a path where he's involved with horses every day like I am, I don't know.
But should he want to do that, he's well-equipped.
Yeah, let's do it.
So we'll let all these in and just leave them cameras there and see what happens.
It might be cool.
You can lead them into the water, but you can't make them drink.
Good work today, boys.
Got any cigarettes?
Cold beer?
Willie, if you reach back and put your finger in your horse's butt, he'll drink.
