Somehow, the theme song from "The Magnificent Seven" is running through my head...

I was thinking "Rawhide"........

[milagro]

Yes!!!!!
Southern Oregon hospitality!:)

Let’s hope the cowboy isn’t accused of being a racist, based on the photos.

LOL! Good one too!

No, but his horse "Whitey" is in a world of hurt.

"I use a rope every day, that's how I make my living," Borba said. "If it catches cattle pretty good, it catches a bandit pretty good."

Or, have a branding iron!

[jazusamo]

Yeah, that’d work too. :)

[Oztrich Boy]

“There you go”

The Badito is hanging onto that tree for his life. He figures the cowpoke is gonna drag his ass if he tries anything.

[crz]

That horse is keeping an eye on him even though its looks as if he is looking at something else. If that bandito tries something the horse will back up.

[crz]

Darn nice looking buckskin.

[SatinDoll]

Yep, that’s exactly my take, too.

[lonevoice]

OMG, this story is wonderful! Check out the picture at post #11!

If anyone had gotten this on video, it would have gone viral in less than a minute and that cowboy would be famous.

[OKSooner]

Just curiosity, is this guy a black cowboy? Can’t really tell from that photo.

[OKSooner]

Thanks for answering my question.

[rktman]

I concur.

[rktman]

I concur.

No, you can see his left hand holding the cinch. His right hand is hold a phone to his face.

[WildHighlander57]

Good lassoing.
