It’s why my horse that was born at my farm will die on my farm. She doesn’t know anything but Willing and Kindness. She never will.

Love it.

I have an older TexTan a customer brought me to add conches to, problem is I need to find machine screw backed conches ( it’s a flex tree). I haven’t been able to find any to purchase, any suggestions?

Not sure conspiracy theory a vernacular fit for the story line. Bottom line: one of the greatest cutting horse stations ever trained and showed by the Freeman’s.

Love to hear these stories too. Thank you for sharing!

I don't know how anyone can drink Moonshine it's gut rot. I love a good story, especially a cowboy story. Thank you for posting this video. What ego??

Love the story about Smart Little Lena!! You should compile all these stories in a book and name it the history of Horses.

❤❤❤❤

Hello. Can you please show how to replace metal conchos with leather buttons with strings. Thanks

Wasted 5 minutes here. Sounds like some pretty stupid people.

Shorty was tuning the horse the whole time Bill was showing him. That was common knowledge.

I like my Skipper W Mare

Video of the run, please? :) lol

I bought a used Big Horn saddle recently. When I turned it over, I noticed about a 1 1/2" split just about under the seat. Can I still use it or will it get worse? TY

Didn’t Hanes Chatham start that horse

Sonny Thomason bought horses from my Dads horse sales!!! Also my Dad had a lot of Skipper w’s.

Love these stories!!!! Thank You!!

Thank You!

We need more Matlock stories please .

Great job. Common sense answers...

How do I add strings where the conchos are? Help! I need strings!

Worst mistake ever, they will ruin its history

Sometimes the simple things can really help someone out. Thank you! Subscribed and thumbs up!

My reins have to have that certain feel ! I know it when I feel it ! I have some 30 year old reins that I use everyday

I'm glad to see a good old-time saddle maker using Channel Locks on conchos. Sometimes you have to use whatever will get the job done. When I'm cleaning up and detailing a customer's saddle, I often find where the saddlemaker or someone after him has put the conchos in with more force than necessary or has tried to make a new hole where it shouldn't be. I've seen the screws come back out with an almost "S" bend in them. NOTHING will get that concho out except Channel Locks. Whenever I have to use Channel Lock pliers I pay more attention to protecting the silver than I do the leather. The leather underneath the concho is usually a simple rosette which can be replaced if necessary for less than a buck a piece. Sometimes the concho is put in at such a bad angle that it's already chewed into the leather on the bottom while the top of the concho is still 1/8 of an inch away. I always have to correct that situation by filling the hole with wood putty and then redrilling. You always want your concho to be in contact with the leather on all edges. You never want a 1/8 inch gap. That's where clothing and other tack can get hung up and cause an accident/injury.

Thank you helps alot

The person asking obviously doesn't like the idea of Taylor buying the 4 6's, they tried to be cute about calling him Hollywood.

The piper tank is named after my great granddad Jon piper who died repairing it so the ranch put the boys on the payroll and the piper pens it hurt my heart but things change

Casey was one of a kind her used to tell my nana don’t get worried at the horse races at DelMar. He’d then roll down the stairs acting like he tripped just to cause a big scene then get up just laughing and scratching. So many stories I’m proud to say I was named after Casey and loved to go to his ranch in Ramona Ca and ride

Hollywood will destroy that place and in 10 years it will be a parking lot shopping mall amusements park just you wait youll see

I bet she was perfect and prepared at her first show, unlike the unprepared losers.

The buyers have every right to subdivide it if they wish. That said, I can't understand anyone believing any claim that it won't be.

I just hope and pray Taylor Sheridan keeps his word and the four sixes remains the four sixes as it is and we love. I hope HOLLYWEIRD DOESN'T overtake and TOTAL DESTROY that part of Texas HISTORY like that DISGUSTING BUNCH FROM HOLLYWEIRD has done to what USE TO BE another part of Texas HISTORY. The Fort Worth Stockyards is slowly loosing it's HISTORY and becoming another Disneyland. 😪😪 All l can say. DON'T CALIFORNIA OUR TEXAS.

Thank you for this! My rosette and concho came off of my old Billy Cook. There are 2 holes, one still has the nail sticking out. Do I need the pain in the @$$ type concho you mentioned or is the other hole to secure the rosette?

We need an “Embrace the Suck” T -shirt

Hanes Chatham started SLL - he brought him out to our ranch before he sent the horse to Billy. I have vivid memories of it. That's all I'm going to say here.

Thanks you this was very helpful!

I appreciate you sharing these stories from years gone bye, sir. It means a lot!

Uhh why nobody text

Love it!

I had a Skipper W gelding and loved, loved loved him. Smooth ride, easy to train. Sound. Bay, good looking. Very fast.

I have a 12 yr old Medicine Hat tovero APHA stallion MrBlueMoonMedicineMan, who is 25% Skipper W, and 25% race bred thru his dam, and 25% Red Sonny Dee and 25% Mr Norfleet thru his sire. He is built like a tank just like his dam, 15.2 1/2 hands and 1,400 lbs with 1 grand and 9 reserve grands in three shows as a yearling and I am not a trainer with the expert knowledge to prepare him. He is a gentle horse that my little granddaughters can ride and is one of the best horses that the trainer ever had when he was put under saddle as a two year old. Sure would be nice to find some Skipper W mares to breed him to as they would surely be some heavy muscled good minded horses!

How much is a tree replacement? I don’t think it’s broke, but if it is, it’s worth replacing. It was my grandpa’s saddle he won for all around in college back in 1964

Spot on man. I would’ve never given a second thought to anything western until I saw Yellowstone. now I am addicted. bravo, well done and carry-on

I live in Borger, TX - the 6666 ranch is south of town, between us and Panhandle, TX - it's a huge place, I've never seen the 6666 in Guthrie, TX

Hollywood? Look up Sheridans bio, he is a cowboy FIRST, then a terrific writer. He his own LARGE ranch as well.

It’s all got to do with money and the government, bcoz if they inherit it they have to pay inheritance tax which is millions plus property tax which is millions as well and property tax you pay every year so either way UNCLE SAM is squeezing your nipple so hard it’s turning PURPLE, you can’t win.

I think it’s a good deal for someone truly interested in the horse business buying the 6666. Much better than someone from New York city’s stock market buying it to make a profit on it no matter what happens.
