Re: Bucking rolls

They are nice but if rely on them too much and you have one that really gets with it then you blow a screw you might end up with a new turkey track across your saddle. :( It could happen without them but I ride a bronc alot better if I sit up and ride it rather then rely on bucking rolls.

Re: Vaquero Traditions

Since we are on the vaquero way’s what styles of rope do you boys and girls like to use? I love to rope with a reata if it’s been built right.

Re: Braiders and braided gear-

Brady, I used to work for Doug Groves at the TS in Battle Mountain NV. He is one of the old time braiders. He is a wealth of information and would help anybody with there braiding.

I am sure there are some taxidermists on here that can tell you the best way to bleach it but this is what works for me. I clean the skull the best I can then let it dry.
