Cowboys (see trailer at link) gives viewers the opportunity to ride alongside modern working cowboys on some of America’s largest and most remote ranches. The movie documents the lives of the men and women working on these “big outfit” ranches — some of which are over one million acres — and still require full crews of mounted cowboys and cowgirls to tend large herds of cattle.
We'd like to thank Horse Wise for helping to sponsor the screening!If you'd like to be a sponsor for the event, please PM us for details.
