Day of the Cowboy

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

A cowboy is rich with experience and knowledge of a true days work. It seems as if most people have lost this today. Thanks for sharing this Kent. Maybe someday I will be blessed with being in your presence. Until then...cowboy on!

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Jesse for watching and for your service

[@Pete-lp5pw]

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!!!!

[@bobvogel9019]

I grew up on the plains of southeastern New Mexico amongst many a cowboy friend, this video took me back to a time and place which I miss dearly. Thank you my friend for digging up the memories of my youth on the plains of the cowboy,

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thank you Bob for watching

[@garyj2101]

Being a Cowboy it's not a job it's a way of life and a GREAT ONE!🇺🇸👍👍🤠 Thanks for sharing Kent and Shannon.

[@rlk62075]

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!

[@motivator6977]

Fantastic photography, beautiful song, and an enduring message; God Bless the Cowpokes then and now and our Great Country.

[@kateg7298]

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.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Kate, thanks so much for the kind words

[@MarshallMcCrory]

​@@CowboyKentRollins If everyone wants the "cowboy traditions" to stay alive......then maybe the next time a green kid fresh out of the Army wants a job, instead of acting like a high browed know it all and acting like if a person wasn't born during a stampede with a rope in one hand and a set of reins in the other hand and a set of spurs on both feet..... MAYBE......JUST MAYBE You should give him a chance.......AND NOT treat him LIKE DIRT if/when you do......maybe he's not a joking type person,maybe he grew up in a home where he was teased unmercifully about his size,or his desire to be a cowboy and how he was useless....... MAYBE......JUST MAYBE.... I'M GUESSING.....he might turn out to be a top hand and keep the cowboy traditions alive.

You can take the cowboy from the land but you cant take the cowboy out from the man. I come from generations of farmers from cattle to pig farmers and mennoite family and i prefer the land with animals than with living in the city

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. Thanks for sharing, Pard. (tipping hat)

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Jane for watching

[@glorygracek.1841]

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!

[@MABs0013]

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.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

You're welcome to sir, my wife Shannon Rollins created it. You might be able to pull more audio off the spring works videos we created too. They're both on the channel. take care sir.

[@Afrikitty]

Lovely video. (^_^) I used to read a lot of Louis L'Amour novels as I was growing up in Cape Town, South Africa back in the day. Today I live in the USA and recently became a citizen of this country. We had our own brand of cowboy back home ... and yes, they are heroes. Take care now and have a nice weekend. Kind regards.
