Working Cow Horse


For a number of years when I lived in Montana, I was involved in breeding Quarter Horses and did quite a lot of riding and training. During the summers, several ranchers routinely held weekend training sessions at the small local arena which gave me the opportunity to get a lot of photographs of actual working cow horses in action.

This pencil study, which was done from photographs I took back in the 1970s, when we were raising Quarter Horses and competing ourselves, has always been one of my favorites.
