Thanks for sharing your saddle making process. A good saddle is just as important as a good horse.

[@josephbaker7457]

My Sunday afternoon is complete. Thank you guys.

[@maryanngross7225]

I really enjoy learning about the way that you make your saddles. Happy to see that the new horse is doing quite well. Thank you for another great video!

[@JohnDoe2.01]

Thanks for another enjoyable insight into your life. Those youngsters don't know how lucky they are. Family first! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would enjoy seeing more of your saddle making process. Thanks again. You made my morning good. Keep Smiling and Stay Grateful

[@ShainCaldwell]

Really enjoyed the saddle making. Perhaps you can show more?

[@cindiallain8542]

Hi Cowboys, the wind never bothers me. I’d rather have the wind than not have your videos. I love your videos. It’s like I’m taking a trip away. Thank you for that. Hopefully the cows won’t come back down after you get them gathered up there. I’ll watch most anything you put out. My favorites tho is when you have the family together and I see my favorites lil Cowboys. Thank you for the video.

[@pamelaremel7477]

As long as you put out videos, I'll be watching!!! The sprinkles doughnut & so many more good memories for us all. Enjoyed the re-cap! Gods blessings for a Safe & Prosperous 2025!

Did I say that I am interested? I do forget rapidly what I just said.. 🤭 But I think that you get it that I'm interested.. right? 😆 Alright, have a good one and be safe out there with all those ladies!

[@SharonJamison-ez9fp]

I would love to see video of saddle making.

[@timothyboyd5548]

Another good video. 👍

[@Lucontheman]

Your cattle are remarkably good shape. Winter showed up here in Texas, 63 yesterday, teens tonight, hard on animals and people

[@edgarrogers3706]

Another great video, thanks for letting an old man go along.

[@markbeard2850]

Like the saddle making

[@johnjacobs4207]

MY favorite tree if 9 inch Afork with Severe AZ bars. #2dally horn 4 tall. I used to get them from Keith Gertch in MIdway but I am not important enough to get more of his.

[@jameshawkinsthevoiceofnewb4687]

Looking forward to your journeys in 2025!

[@deanaltman6841]

Another good video. I’d be interested in watching you build that saddle.

[@donnavanderveer268]

Enjoyed the video as usual, a saddle making ( progression) would be interesting.

[@AnnaMaddux-xf4dz]

As always awesome video ❣️

[@art-is-lazy4509]

God damn, y'all. That desert 🏜 country sure is purdy, y'all. Glad I'm not the one ranching it, though. Sure, looks sparce.

[@davidkramer6585]

Love your video content, don't care for the distracting beat of the music.

[@ked7221]

My kind of saddle. Appreciate the larger swells and the higher cantle - make them good for long days. That horse had some training and obviously had some tough going. Should settle down well with your quiet approach.

[@susanstone3588]

When I fixed water gaps the wire fence part was up high and I'd hang logs off the bottom wire so the cows couldn't go under but when the creek flooded the logs would float up and hopefully not take out the water gap.

[@sjeffreyw]

Next time you see Billy Veach tell him Steven Webster says hello.

[@tycox2444]

Happy New Year 1880 Drifters. Besides Saddles do you guys do other leather work as well? Do you guys give Salt to your horses? Its amazing cattle can live, survive, and thrive on the desert. You guys should get a ranch horse from the Painted Desert Ranch in Arizona. They are another You Tube channel. Are you guys going to do the rest of the Giveaway of your Jackets and Vests like you said you were a couple of weeks ago? Another day Ranching and Riding for the Brand on the 1880 Drifters and 3 Bars Ranch. Your cattle look good and healthy. I heard a wise Horseman once said with young horses they need Long Rides, Wet Saddle Pads and Concentrated Training. Beautiful country there in Southeast Utah.

[@ronwitherspoon7689]

How is the Mustang horse doing

[@fleetskipper1810]

Phenomenal landscape, great family times. One question: how far in one day are cows apt to wander away from where they’re supposed to be? Would it take one day, one week, etc. for them to get that far away?

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, thanks for the question if they are in the traveling mode, they can go 5 plus miles no problem. The cows we got on this video took several days to go the 10 miles. We have days that we move them 10 plus miles. I have seen them go back over night, especially if they have left their calf behind. Thanks for watching.

[@gail8494]

Enjoyed the explanation about the saddle. How many have you made? Thanks for the video. See you next week.

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, thank you for the question. I just finished number 44 I usually make 2 a year. Thanks for watching

[@gail8494]

@ wow!

[@julieperry2738]

A great video as usual! Thank you! What do your completed saddles weigh that you make?

[@shawnjack8092]

With out any gear on them they will be 35 to 40 pounds.

[@julieperry2738]

@shawnjack8092 ok, thank you!

[@ronaldblair7321]

Love Levi’s cap

[@veragamsky1734]

I also was interested in the saddle making. Thanks. What are the chances of your grandsons walking to close to a rattlesnake, or are there none. You men rope and ride as good or even better than rodeo riders. Handle that lariat really good.

[@fleetskipper1810]

I’m guessing it’s too cold for rattlesnakes to be very dangerous this time of year.

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi Thanks for the question. Fleet skipper is right, we do not see snakes until it starts to warm up over 65 degrees during the day. And yes, it is a concern. Where we have our spring camp, we see rattle snakes on a regular basis. We always do a sweep of the area when we get into camp before we let the dogs and kids run around. We also do lots of educating the little ones about snakes. Personally I don't like them! I get rid of them as fast as we find them.

[@kayrushton1108]

Just a point of interest is that a slighster bit that you are using on the new horse???

[@shawnjack8092]

yes, a solid bit with a roller. He really likes it. We tried several things and ended up with this bit.
