      For Anthony Harris, walking to the corner store often comes with the risk of being searched by the police. But when he shows up on his horse Koda, something entirely different happens. http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/ZpEn31tvzl

      “They don’t pull us over or search us when we’re on the horses. They would have thought we were gangbangers and had guns or dope on us if we weren’t riding, but these horses protect us from all of that.” http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/XwW5IQ6MUl

      Most of the Compton Cowboys were encouraged to join the organization by those who believed horse riding would offer an alternative to gangs and violence. “We’ve always wanted to give people a different side of Compton besides gangster rap and basketball.” http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/K7rQEGLa40

      “We’re different than most cowboys because we wear Air Jordan’s, Gucci belts and baseball hats.” On top of helping to eradicate some of the negative stigmas of Compton, the group’s mission is to break stereotypes and break into the white rodeo circuit. http://nyti.ms/2H0wJ3e pic.twitter.com/mWmfxIuwif

      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

          "white guys in cowboy hats" Can you progressive newsies be any more racist? Why does a feel good story of people avoiding the violent life in a notoriously violent area have to be turned to racism?

          I would say "dude, heels down" but this guy I think is the one I saw riding bareback. When you don't have stirrups you can do what you like with your feet. But it's harder to keep your seat if the horse shies at traffic or something else unexpected.

          I hope they know the story of Bass Reeves, a former slave who became a cowboy and bounty hunter in the old west. Supposedly, the Lone Ranger was based on his life.

          The word cowboy comes from the cow herders that were slaves and were also called boys as their “owners” did not see them as equals regardless of their age. Needless to say Native Americans are the original “cowboys” of America.

          Really cool riders wear protective head gear while horseback. TBI are not cool. Paraplegia sucks.

          Damn. Who was that great, famous black cowboy? Can’t recall. A REAL man, though. I’d like to see someone bring back the Buffalo Soldiers, too.
