    @Yahoody "Glad we cleared up the limit of your knowledge on "jaquima to freno"" LOL!.... Nice try but I'm not tacking the bait......Told you I wouldn't enlighten you..... A bigger hat don't make a bigger man............. Happy Trails! Latigo

    @Yahoody Really don't know Carson or Sanders but I guess you do. I just happened to find his vid on the tube. I posted it to show that the technique is still practiced today. Don't matter to me which one of them you think is better just making a point that it's the same today as it was then...

    ""jaquima to freno" practoneers could and can be found in both enviroments. But no question the stockmanship was refined over 200 years ago in Alta California. Likely no one even close to doing it well today as many did then. No one has the time. Really? BTW You're not using the Bosal properly...

    @Michael R. The horseman below is riding a slick fork saddle but without bucking rolls, most working Vaquero's use them. The horse is being ridden in the two rein with a spade bit with braided reins and rein chains and a bosalita, Vaquero style, almost a full bridle horse. He's carrying a long...

    Wow, stay safe and it sounds like one of those be careful what you wish for things....."Yes, as a care taker for cotton and cattle it's good to get a little rain after the dry spell we had" A little rain could wind up being more than you think or want! Latigo

    The Conversion Corral

    @T Jones Thanks again Terry.......... Yea that makes sense...Here is the best spray bottle I have ever used. It's called a dual action sprayer, it sprays on the pull AND on the release. It's very rigid. I use it to apply fly spray to the horses. It stands up excellent to the chemicals in the...

    @T Jones Thanks Terry! Our water here is sometimes really "hard water".....I'll be sure to use distilled. :) Latigo

    The Conversion Corral

    @T Jones I really admire your talent for hat conversions.....Do you always wet the hat to shape them? Do you use steam for the fine adjustments? I have always been frustrated by just using steam as I only have a Jiffy Steamer and I sure wish it put out more steam! Latigo

    @AlexTheApache Hey I think it looks good! Got to ask...Are you getting hit by the hurricane? You're near Houston? Latigo

    @Michael R. Ok, thanks again. I keep thinking there is a third too, but I can't think of it either. Latigo

    Western, anyone?

    @Michael R. Thanks, the ones that are almost the same seem to be: San Antonio, Fort Worth and wasn't there a third that was named after a city? latigo

    Western, anyone?

    @Michael R. said: "Looks like a Rancher with a Fort Worth type crease (the kicks) . Profile 01 my favorite" Michael are there any standards to the depth/ width of the kicks that you know of? The reason I like the Stetson better is that the kicks aren't so deep and wide. Of course it's nothing...

    @FedOregon , @johnnycanuck Here's one that looks almost like that Stetson. It's a Bailey Beaver 100 with a cow kick front and back, but I like yours better, this one does look like it got kicked by a cow........... Latigo

    Western, anyone?

    @FedOregon They can talk about the box all they want......:)..........I like the side profile with that minimal cow kick its' got....as opposed to the ones that really look like you did get kicked by a cow! That's a really nice hat..........:) Latigo

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Another Beaver Brand pure beaver.........Really dirty but it's all beaver.........:) Latigo

    Western, anyone?

    @DocCasualty Very nice selection Doc! It's nice to have all of them in the same caliber/Load too I imagine. That Thunderer sure has a different look to it I would imagine it's a handful to shoot even with a light load? That's what you had under your arm that got my attention from that unique...

    Western, anyone?

    @DocCasualty Looks good Doc! I think it would be better to have it hand creased if it's done right as opposed to a block. Just wondering about your CAS firearms. What do you use? I do remember from your post on the 10x Boone that you had a sidearm under your arm in addition to your others. Do...
