\"The Texas Puncher cut his teeth roping wild longhorns. Then driving them east, on the Opelousas Trail to New Orleans through treacherous swamps and rivers. Years later, he headed \'em north to the rail heads. When the big ranches--XIT, Matador, Pitchfork and 06 were established, he had wild country to contend with...cavernous canyons, rivers with quicksand, mesquite thickets that tore his gear apart and cows determined never to be tamed. This was reflected in his gear and the way he works. He packs a short rope and ties hard and fast. He uses split reins and thinks a spade bit belongs in a museum. He wears leggins heavy as armor and thinks silver is useless adornment. And he\'s always in a hurry to get the job done before the midday sun reaches its broiling point.\" Vaquero style horsemanship has been adopted by many of the leading horsemen today including Buck Brannaman the late Tom and Bill Dorrance. The Vaquero Series follows the the Vaquero Trail from Spain to the far corners of the West. This is the 8th DVD in what is now a 10 DVD series. Follow the Texas influence on the modern day vaqueros and buckaroos. The tradition is much more than the reatas, spade bits, and bridle horses . It is carried on from the men and women that have come before us. This is an awesome depiction of true history to present not taught in school houses, the REAL history and tradition.
