  • Each year, a day comes around known as The Day of the Cowboy. It is a time to celebrate the many accomplishments of an American hero and a legend that is still very much alive today. This is our short pictorial tribute to the cowboy.
    Song: Cowpoke by Dave Stamey

    Thank you my friend, as long as there are folks amongst us who really keep the cowboy way of life, it will never die

    Soul of a poet and the big heart of the cowboy. Kent brings that to life and It makes sense even in our time where everything moves so fast and too much in life is disposable. God bless Kent and his sweet little (genius, hardworking, tough as steel but rare as bluebonnets) wife Shannon. I'm a writer and their honesty reaches in and tells me something true every time I slow down and take in their stories and hear about their lives.

    Lord Jesus, I am so happy to have found this video!!! I am an old man who has dreamed for about 72 years of living the life of a cowboy. I served in the Marine Corps for 30 years and believe me I joined in 1970 and it wasn’t for the money. Hardwork never scared me and I liken my time with the Marines to that of a cowboy. Hardworking and not much pay but what a great life 🙏🥹🐎🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏. Thank you for sharing this story!!!! God bless you!!!!

    I loved this video. I grew also grew up in a cowboy family. My dad was a bareback rider, my brother was a bull rider and my grandmother's brother started the longest running family rodeo in Texas. We raised cattle and Quarter Horses. It was an awesome life and I wish I still lived out in the country. I love cowboys and what they represent. If more kids were raised like we were we wouldn't have near the problems we do today. Thanks so muh for this!

    Such an excellent tribute to the 'frontier in all of us'!
    While I know that this pays respects to contemporary cowboys, I can not help but notice the absence of any bowies,
    scatter guns, carbines or hog legs. These too are tools of the trade (well, maybe not the hog leg so much), and are surely in tow... off camera.
    But that's ok, Kent... I get it.

    Great video, Kent. A good friend of mine posted it on my FB Page and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    The American Cowboy has been, is and will always and forever be a lasting legacy of America's rugged past. Would that more people would adopt the ideology of what it means to be a "Cowboy" - the dignity of hard work, the satisfaction of a job well done, "keeping your word good", a handshake is a binding contract and "riding for the brand." America and the world in general would be a much better (and safer) place." As long as there are people who see the "rightness" in this way of thinking and behaving, "the Cowboy Way" will never die.

      Love his books as well. One of my Most if not my top author!
      Just to clarify for people who don't know about him and are trying to look him up he is "Louis L'Amour".
      Definitely if you don't know him, you gotta! AND like a true cowboy, his books are good for children as well. You don't have to worry. Mama was always real careful with our books, and we still are. We where reading his books.....I think it was by 10 yrs old? I can't remember. We where adopted so we where behind on reading and then once Mom finally got us into reading (we weren't sold on all that see Jane run stuff, boring!) We jumped ahead and where toting a big book at a young age. So young that sometimes adults would comment about it.
      Anyway he is awesome and it seems they are trying to hide him now days because he is good! His books are hard to come by in good condition at a fair price anymore. They have done a new printing in this century I don't believe and they need to!
