     During the early part of the last century, America, in fact the whole world, was treated to the presence of two great westerners.  Will James and Will Rogers put their mark on the West and forever inscribed the lore of riding, roping and rodeo in the hearts of people everywhere.  They left us a legacy of the cowboy way and their teachings revolved around the same main ingredient–horses.

     Horses are the glue that binds us together.  They have a special place in our work and our hearts.  We take special pride in our association with horses when we read the works of Will James and Will Rogers and realize the place cow horses played in these gifted men’s lives and teachings.

 

This column explores a bit of the lives of these two great westerners.  It provides an interesting look at their background, lifestyles and the horses that were dear to their hearts.
