I love this, gives kids something to do and an outlet for all of trauma they’ve faced!

[@jeanineking7311]

Star Cherry I’m with you!!

[@AS-vp4kq]

Me too

[@orphfinthewizard1774]

They went through trauma at the hands of white people.

[@blacknizzle]

ay nobody told em to take the horses to the streets...but at least the horses get some time outside -_-...

[@dovermaskot4441]

I see you under every vid of the show today, why xD

[@cartersmith6628]

Putting a horse ranch in the middle of a city to keep a minority group off the streets and out of danger while also teaching them life skills. That’s the most American shit I’ve ever heard

[@blankslate6590]

Russian bot

[@Cruxador]

Yeah, but in a good way for once.

[@DJO2Films]

R Lmao what? He’s a Russian bot because he said the word “American”???

[@wetguavass]

The American cowboy was created in Mexico.

[@elf9064]

These ranches have actually been here for decades. Compton and South Central were predominantly white back in the day and before the city exploded in population, it made sense that the previous suburbs had ranches. So no, they didn’t put a horse ranch in Compton for that reason. The ranches are already existing here and they simply made an existing one into a program.

[@soduhh6169]

Can i have the weed u smoking lmaoo😂😂

[@ErykaSoleil]

Tha Ish : The response is what made it truly golden. 😁

[@shahnawazansari119]

awesome joke..

[@kmm129]

Why, yes you may. Seriously though- with the recent tragedy in bare-back riding my respect & sympathy to all those affected. RIP.

[@mutawi]

Instantly liked the kid for just kindly sharing without hesitation.

Beautiful story, horses are very spiritual creatures, good therapy animals.

[@MasterKcoop]

Sparky's Space I guess?

[@talosgoat8697]

Just like dogs. Full of spirit. I get exactly what you mean.

[@smplfi9859]

the donkey is what is native to Africa, not horses.

[@ArcaJ]

This is literally what it's like in southeast Houston, TX. People riding horses in the hood. My childhood right there. 😆

[@chriswilliams2468]

Already! Mo. City

[@Realsunshinedaydream]

What they know about them Texas boys. Lol

[@goathead5073]

Sadly a lot of those horses end up dying from neglect and abuse on people's lawns. Houston has one of the highest animal abuse case count in the United States.

[@sonandsanford4963]

I saw a caravan a few years back in H-town while working there and was surprised. The cops blocked off a section of the freeway so they could cross. I looked up a web ad from the side of one the wagons and to my surprise there were more of these clubs around the country than I realized including 30 miles from me in NC.

[@adamgonzales2113]

Grew up on Edgebrook! Yup!

[@ThisIsInfamousJBlack]

I love seeing Black Folks shown in a different light. There's more to us than meets the eye. I applaud you for showing interest in what they stand for.

[@basdost266]

That your copying style of ppl from mexico.

[@missthis4140]

@@basdost266 yes because black people appreciate the mexican culture just like mexicans appreciate black culture. Your point?

[@CBlargh]

You mean you aren't all gangsters or superheroes? /s Seriously, though, I think these people might be superheroes...

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

The Daily Show is just the best. I really enjoyed this. I spent time with horses when I was a kid and I can affirm what that young girl said. The absolutely most calming thing that I ever did around horses is just to gaze into their eyes. (after currying, brushing, shoveling horse apples and, of course, riding.) My takeaway from this? People are all the same and we ought to cut each other a damn break and stop judging people by how they look. Horses don't judge by how we look, they judge us by what we do. Are horses smarter than people? ;)

[@Angie_978]

Yup

[@latoshadennis7730]

Of course they are

[@MrTattooASMR]

that is pretty badass

[@1basictips]

Watch this funny ear Orgasms👇👇kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi2iHR5mJWqfbs

[@imdatchick6934]

3:21 one of the sexiest cowboys I have EVER seen 😝😝😝

[@nancyschannel9518]

If my daughter brought that man home, I would start cooking and break out the family pictures

[@luisg1653]

"I can't make it 8 seconds riding bareback" 🤣 I knew where he was going

[@MrGksarathy]

You do realize a lot of old-time cowboys were black, Latino, or Native American men, right?

[@johnvuu4679]

and then the white people took it for themselves like they always do

[@cocobenji6123]

My ancestor was! I found it through research.

[@imcheezy_]

@@johnvuu4679 Thomas Edison stole light bulb idea

[@OnettBoyXD]

@@johnvuu4679 Yeah totally, there were white cowboys before the blacks, Latin and Native ones. Who do you think introduce (technically reintroduce cause Horses became extinct in that regions thousands of years before) Horses to that continent? The whites/Europeans

[@stevengonzalez4502]

@astro that's like saying because you have a truck you're a trucker. Moving value across dangerous territory was a Mexican thing then brothers got involved bcs we respect ppl based on their achievements. Most former slaves became cowboys for that reason

[@ErykaSoleil]

This is awesome! Also, 1:30 and the response was pure gold. “Sure, I like to share.” 🤣

[@jamied.9284]

Yeah... I love to share man. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

[@pizzaparker4107]

ARE YOU A SHEEP BEHEHE

[@longdirtytoenails1076]

Nigga u gay

[@Motoroxido]

Long over due! This is the kind of news that need to be focused on the city. I'm Hispanic grow up (Greenleaf area, by the old farm houses) in Compton and seen this get some positive coverage makes me proud. Hey put some gear out there so people can represent!

[@Babebubby]

I love it when at 1:30 Kenny Atkins says I love to share my weed! It's official! I'm a fan! 😂

[@bsqwahlE]

Y'all are awesome. Your horses look great. It's a bleak time. I'm not hopeful for the future. But, a glance into your lives; riding bare back on the streets of Compton. Livin life.

[@blkcatzette]

I was about to say that. It's kinda a way of life where I grew up and to this very day. Go Compton Cowboys all y'all brought a smile to my face. And horses can be therapeutic... Thanks Roy for the reporting, I hope you had fun!!!

[@latoshadennis7730]

"I rather get jumped by the bloods than touch s**t" 😂😂😂💀

[@giannidacatanzaro3822]

And doing good is paying back sooner or later. I lost my dad and at his funeral there were over 50 people to say goodbye and the whole block send me condolences. I maybe didn't help my dad anymore but it helps me a lot to know that so many people knew my dad and cared about him.

[@rhov-anion]

So much respect. My dad worked in Compton for many years and we knew of groups like Compton Junior Posse and Compton Sounders. Healthy ways to keep kids busy and build an extended family.

[@blackcandyish]

Roy Woods is too funny with his Starter horse 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chezmoi42]

And that special handshake.

[@blackcandyish]

@@chezmoi42 now that was funny

[@Wrath91]

Being from NYC wish I had something like this growing up nothing but love for this. Blessing to everyone involved. Stay Up!

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Black cowboys association. Acres Homes TX. You go Compton.

[@melvina628]

Beautiful. Loved this. Thank you for educating everyone.

[@princesskelly5581]

This is honestly dope asl , I love that they have a completely different type of outlet to heal them

[@The_Mad_Queen87]

Actually one of the first cowboys were black; bill picket... look him up. 🤗

[@chevyvel6646]

The first cowboys were Spaniards called Vaqueros. The Spaniards brought the horses to the new world.

[@MrWicked187]

People of color always start trends but never get the credit lol

[@yaee123]

original cowboys in the us/and areas that ended up taken by the us (wild, wild, west)were almost exclusively Black and Mexican.

[@Moneyg73]

Bass Reeves look him up his story was similar to Django unchained.

[@chevyvel6646]

@Mike Nunyabizness The only thing i said that they were the original cowboys. Thats all. Stop bashing people and act like an adult.

[@SuckoGomez]

Finally, a nice, heart warning and positive story. Thank you and good luck CJP.

[@angelidia]

I knew that there are still a couple of small ranch in Compton and had seen people horseback riding but never expected that there is an organization that dedicate to keeping kids off gangs.

[@billysbees]

now that's smthing i've NEVER seen before. Bravo to all these people for doing what they love

[@DjBoggLEMaN]

I love this idea

[@redumbrella4218]

Thank you Noah! The Best always!

[@EloraWood]

I feel so sad for what they had to go through. But this program is amazing! I hope they’ll get all the support they’ll need!

[@skbwolverine]

Black cowboys all over this country throughout history. But this is awesome too!🤗

[@cherwalker2948]

Yes Mr. Rodeo! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kofiowusu761]

✊🏾 no body else will show this . Thanks for sharing 🔥

[@kylab8395]

Responding, “Yeah, I love to share!” when someone asks for your weed has got to be peak Californian behavior 😂

[@nancyschannel9518]

Cowboy once told me 'you can fool my dog but you can't fool a horse'

[@caroltesol1]

Excellent! I love this program! We need more of this!

[@organicgrains]

This is AWESOME! What a great program.

[@christinefaulk6531]

Aw, great story.... y'all know how to get in contact with Mr. Rodeo?....I'm asking for a friend.

[@bummedovaries6032]

I always see them whenever I am around Compton. Love and support to the Compton Cowboys 🔥🔥🔥

[@rlee1231]

I’m glad they still have this program!! 🥰 Cowboy Lil Wayne!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@dongking6245]

That was great ! Well done guys and all the best to every one of you over there it takes a heart to stand up and be different and the good lord doing some real work through you guys and that's always good to see

[@irgendwieanders2121]

I watched a lot of them episodes, man. Cause of Trevor Noah, man. But boy, if Roy Wood Jr. didn't nail it right there, man, I don't know. Kudos from Austria, man!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Oh, no, no, no. That bareback riding? That looks _way_ too dangerous. You can keep that.

[@karmencummings5463]

Honestly from the title I thought this was clip was going to be funny. I did laugh a couple times, but I found this to surprisingly touching for the Daily Show. I kinda wanna cry a little and donate to the program

[@raisingkane8058]

Yasss 👍 it should be a program like this n others in every city n state! Gives the youths n adults something productive to do! 😍🐎👍

[@invisibleiis536]

Shouts out to OG Casper the only cowboy with horses I personally met in Compton! He introduced me to the Bill Picket rodeo scene years ago before it started trending on social media Yes the Black cowboys really do ride their horse around Los Angeles in the county areas of the city! I still see them out regularly in certain areas

[@scottjohnson388]

Why isn't this trending? Great story and funny report. More stories like this, please.

[@blackcandyish]

This is encouraging to see especially around so much violence happening in these times
