“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

These black cowboys are heroes saving horses!my maternal family lives in Texas and raising horses was a way of life my late grandmother was a Cherokee!these horses are beautiful majestic creatures !
-
Sable I agree with you 100%. I'm from Texas also everything you said about horses is spot-on. And if the Compton Cowboys want to buy them and treat them good who are we to say anything.
-
Yeah these gentleman are remarkable horse activists especially for the black community in Compton whose city kids might not have ever seen horses before up close!I'm from Calif but I spent my vacations in several states with horses in their towns these animals are so smart!
-
You're absolutely right about Compton. Horses are just so beautiful the word I'm trying to find is Majestic. Well I'm actually an avid animal lover be dogs, cats and Wildlife and all of the kinds of animals.

Most people don't know that many, many of the 'cowboys' in the old west were black.
