Do you have Netflix? Highly recommend the film/documentary I just finished. It has a been on my 'list' for a long time, but never got around to being that interested in it. The name of the film is
"Unbranded". It's about 4 childhood guys (from Texas) who graduated from college and before entering 'the real world', they got some Mustangs (horses) from a BLM auction, broke them and rode them from the Mexican/US border to the Canadian/US border. Really, really good. Lots of commentary on the control of wild horses in our country and the ranchers.
 

Watched it last night, really enjoyed it. I relate alot of stories, members probably think most are lies, some I embellish on but are basically true. I grew up in Utah so the story is of interest to me, travelled the same roads as the subjects did. But the interesting thing personally is about my father's young adulthood. He grew up in Penrose, Ut. Within a few miles of the Golden Spike. He worked for the Browning's (John M Browing, gun inventor) on their ranch for years, riding range & fence line. He and is older brother both worked for them, they would catch 'Mustangs' in the spring, break them & then use them for his cowboying. He told us many stories about the wild horses, took us out to watch them run, and to this day a good cowboy/western is my choice of viewing. I also had 'Unbranded' on my queue for months but because of my fear of heights avoided watching it because I knew the country, knew some of the mountains they were going over.

The other thing our SIL graduated from A&M, our daughter met him in Bryan/College Station, he passed away in 2010 it was a personal thing for me to watch it, thanks for the push.
