The Last Ride: Randy Johnson, The 65 Year Old Bronco Riding Cowboy

[@ArizonaAirspace]

Randy is a real cowboy. I have a lot of respect for these old timers. They don’t make em like they used to any more.

[@michaelarchie4841]

im 62 rode horses most my life. got bucked off at 15 broke my arm bad, stayed two weeks in hospital, never stopped riding. i love this story, keep riding Randy, ride till we die and live free !

[@jeanfish7]

2wks for a fx arm?

[@mikekaatman3194]

That is poetry in motion and pure living life on your terms....take note youngmen...

[@serenitynpeace104]

Things have changed, no free land government took it all. Thieves. Taken wild horses under false pretense. 🐎🐎 Farms nothing like they should be cause of co-ops dank monopoly. Monopolies have distorted framing as it should be.

[@calikid2139]

You have just offended these liberals with the words young men. I’m a real California native, transplants must go.

[@ziparillomcmf1822]

That there Man is true Americana and tough as a badger .. God bless You Randy give'em hell

[@mikekelly4222]

Randy Johnson is a legend. When the pandemic is over I will travel over to meet him - be honoured to share a whiskey with him.

[@charlieswearingen500]

Can't get enough of life eh Randy? I'm over half-way to age 72. I've worked alone most of my life on horseback with a pack string in Idaho's backcountry and wilderness. When I'm out there my bedroll is never dry, I've been scared, hungry, thirsty, windburnt, frozen and wonderin' if I'm lost the rest of the time. I've been bitten, thrown, kicked all to hell, had heatstroke, hyperthermia, frostbite, broken neck, broken back, heart attack, several surgeries and no regrets. I still carry a pocketknife, chocolate bars and fishin' worms in my pocket. And like you, I'm still lookin' to see what's just over the next ridge... ;-)

[@OmarM.Núñez]

Recently met Randy Johnson and golly, he is an amazing man. He was our horseback riding guide at Circle Bar B Stables in Santa Barbara. 10/10 recommend.

[@ashton1109]

Absolutely awesome, to see an old childhood friend, living his dream. You're an INSPIRATION, Randy!!

[@carlosdyer5868]

That man has a great attitude on life. He's no quitter !

[@Hey_its_Koda]

Thats one strong man. Proof to never give up. Not too old to do the things you love.

[@wildcycles1]

An old cattle rancher I knew used to say "If you ain't tough, you ain't much"... This guy is living those words..

[@rickyshultz2051]

I’m 55 ain’t been on a horse in 12 yrs ! I trained some rough horses , stuff that a reputation for hurting people ! Loved , and miss it but damn, I can’t hold a candle to this man ! He is my HERO !

[@edhatcher4343]

Had the pleasure of meeting Randy , while on a trail ride with my wife, at a ranch on the coast of California, just north of Santa Barbara. We were luck enough to be the only 2 people on the Ride that Randy hosted. Lots of stories and got to spend a few precious hours with this legend. Great Memories !!

[@smilingdog54]

“My heart says you ain’t but my body say you are old”! Absolute truth!

[@jeffkalltheway]

Randy you're a legend! Great riding with you today at Circle B

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

True cowboy spirit, there. Keep it up Randy!

[@sld454]

God Bless you Mr Johnson.. The world needs more like you. I'm not a cowboy although I grew up watching them on tv.. I've tried to live my life like one. You sir are a true inspiration..

[@dogmom7698]

Keep doing what makes you happy and you will never have a bad day in your life. Here’s to Randy🍻

[@SuperHigear]

Randy Johnson just became my new Hero! He's only 5 years younger than me for God sakes and in better shape than I was at 55!

[@RonsardMoolman]

My hat is off to you sir. Kind regards from South Africa.

[@harmonicabraceforguitar1523]

You have inspired me sir, to never give up, even when the so called odds are against you. God bless. I have been suffering with my own problems and glad to see your courage.

[@casshendry]

In my heart I am just like Randy Johnson. I like this dude because he tells the truth and we both love horses and doing horsey stuff. All the best Randy from a crazy Kiwi horseman from down under. I am only 59 years of age but I love hitting the ground after being bucked off a horse because I feel so alive upon impacting with the ground plus its good fun. Lift and hustle, hang on for just one more try is essentially what life is all about. Top man Randy Johnson.

[@satyanarayanamendu6231]

He is great and a hero for ever. Nowadays youngsters are not having the zeal and courage of this rider. Long live the rider. A true cowboy

Man I love this guy don't give up

[@glynnellis6519]

Meeting Randy Johnson is a memorable experience. Getting to know him and the memories will never fade. The R Bar D was in the Snake River Canyon, south of the Hoback, WY. The whole ranch had frontage on that beautiful river. Yet after a whole winter and two thirds the way through calving. A bad case of cabin fever makes you want to go to town. Like many ranches anything mechanical was probably not working, but our horses were always working. Most of the time we were snowed in. So we kept our vehicles in a barn about 3-4 miles away. I heard Hank Williams Jr was coming to the Cowboy Bar in Jackson. Seemed unlikely at the top of his game he would come to such a small venue. I had seen Waylon Jennings there the year before, so I was determined to go. The other cowboy, Gary Stewart would cover me while I was gone. I long trotted my horse to my Olds Delta 88 hoping it would start. At the Cowboy Bar there was this rowdy cowboy sitting at a table right in front of Hank. After every song he would stand and holler out a request. He was drinking enough where he got to laying his head on his arms on the table. Next he slowly slid under the table and there he lay. I made it back to my horse and tightened the cinch. Long trotted standing in the stirrups the whole way back. The seat was way too cold! I worked the rest of the night checking the first calf heifers and probably pulled 2 or 3, I don’t recall now. Sometime later the Cattle Company manager, Chuck Hamilton was able to make it in. He brought a bunch of Jackson Hole newspapers for us to read. On the front page of a recent one was a picture of the cowboy under the table. Headline, “A cowboy who had too much fun at the Hank Jr concert... In all fairness, no one ever said ranch work was easy and only 40 hours a week. Six 10-12 hour days easily. Closer to a 100 hours at calving time. Doesn’t take much alcohol along with exhaustion to pass out. Later on, Chuck said he had just hired someone. The guy shows up and it was the guy that was under the table. That began a wild ride and friendship with Randy Johnson...

[@glynnellis6519]

Dave N Thank you for your comment Dave. Take care...

[@paulosergiosouza8396]

Great story, I never went to the USA, but curiosity made me research Cawboy Bar, and I recognized this place, I saw videos of bikers who stop at this place, on the way to Sturgis, SD. Thanks for sharing. Greetings, from São Paulo, Brazil.

[@mikekaatman3194]

So much for first impressions.

[@glynnellis6519]

Paulo Sergio Souza Paulo, Thank you for your comments. Jackson, Wyoming 40 years ago had a strong cowboy population. Not that way now, but still beautiful and magnificent. Nothing can take the memories away of the good times there... Take good care Paulo, enjoy every day to the fullest. Glynn

[@paulosergiosouza8396]

Glynn, thanks for your kind words. God bless you and your family.

[@ineke1972]

[@randalbuhler9042]

Keep On Riding Randy!!!

[@natureza4903]

God bless him! For Ever young! Amazing!

[@thebrackishboys5869]

Brought a warm feeling to my heart having seen these Santa Ynez Valley cowboys, have a lot of family history with ranching here and grew up on 50 acres in Los Olivos every summer at my grandmas old adobe ranch style house. It really is one of my favorite places on this planet. George Chamberlain was my pops stepdad. If you get the chance, look him up, you may be surprised with what you find. George Chamberlain and Bobby Tanner were the men who created the 20 mule team. Rode through the streets of D.C. and traveled all over. Very proud of the upbringing I had and how lucky I am to have the Valley feel like home.

[@BillZaspel]

Thank you Randy. I just found "one more try" too.

Nice Job Randy - Living Life to its fullest!

[@brandontulgetske8236]

Now that Randy guy is a Badass American hard to come by especially these days with all these gamers all these stupid video games. Kids these days dont know what being a real man and women is they grow up still playing video games. I want a shirt made after this Randy guy, I wanna buy one.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Buck up and be a man and respect your horse.

May The Good Lord keep you safe in the saddle for as long as you desire and may each moment be a cherished one. For my part, at 52, as much as I love horseback riding (see my post here), having my body jolted that much on purpose just isn't my thing. :-) I've been bucked a few times in some not so safe situations and had a horse rear up and land on my legs, that'll suffice.

[@scottrobinson389]
