FEATURING: Bryan Neubert.

Why are people so captivated by horses? Horseman/buckaroo Bryan Neubert has some thoughts on this subject. Raised on his family’s ranch near Salinas, California, Bryan spent many hours learning from his neighbors Bill and Tom Dorrance and other revered horsemen. His horseback education continued with 20 years of cowboying, riding colts, and working as cowboss on some of the largest ranches in Nevada and California. Always learning, Bryan loves challenges and enjoys helping people and their horses through his colt starting, horsemanship, and cow-working clinics. Bryan's talk was part of a keynote conversation that featured three speakers who drew on personal stories to explore the value and growing relevance of horses in contemporary society and how we might regain the important connection horses once represented between rural and urban communities.

From the 36th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.
