    Hi Carson, great video of the rounding up of the Buffalo. That run has to be a lot more tiring for the horses as it is so much more fast paced than herding cows. I was amazed at how fast the herd of Buffalo moved. The poor riders that got dumped must have gotten pretty beatenup with running at that speed. It is a great memory, that you were able to experience all together with your dad and Uncle Boyd. I'm sure all of the spectators watching made it more of an exciting experience. South Dakota is some beautiful country with a lot of open land. Best wishes as you begin the process of getting your own cattle out of the hills.

    What a great video. Love the prayer before for all to be safe, seeing Tuff ride with you and the interview at the end. Awesome experience and memory.
    Safe round up of your own, for you, your horses & your cows.

    Another great video Carson . Thanks for taking us along on your Buffalo Roundup adventure .
    I started riding horse in Custer Park in 1981. Been back many times. Love the scenery, staying at the horse camp, and of course the Buffalo . Had a few close encounters with the old bulls along the trails . They definitely need respect and caution . Sure wish I could participate in the roundup sometime .

    what a great ride !! Any horse owner would give there right arm to do that ride. In 1976 on vacation my wife and I rented a couple of horses and joined a trail ride there, come over a steep hill we rode up on and disturbed a bull rolling around just as we topped the hill. I can tell you we went down the other side faster then we went up !! Great excitement ,beautiful country. for a Boston kid.

The Bison are amazing, I wonder what it must have been like when the herds were in the tens of thousands. Tuff was a nice sighting, you ride in a pretty lofty crowd. Thanks for your time in the making of this video.
