Maintaining the horses at a Compton farm requires consistent maintenance. But Anthony Harris doesn’t mind. “I was always around shootings and gangs, but none of that happens when I’m in the stables with the horses. There’s peace with the animals." http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/OeegcepMhK

A rodeo horse can cost up to $50,000, but the Compton Cowboys rely on auctioned horses that cost $200. “The throwaway horses that we were given ended up being the best … because they had a feisty spirit and a chip on their shoulder just like we did.” http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/fSvx7LqKQP

“At the end of the day, we want people to also think about us when they think about cowboys, not just a bunch of white guys in cowboy hats. … We’re trying be the guys who make it cool to wear Stetson hats and Wrangler jeans in the ‘hood.” http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/B9w9XcEEOv
