HOULIHAN
As the buckaroos brought cattle up from the Great Basin, Texas punchers brought longhorns up the Goodnight Loving Trail. The two cultures met in Wyoming/Montana territory and the Northern Range Cowboy was born. To make a hand here, you must be able to ride rough horses with plenty of buck in em’ and stick it out through long, cold winters. Houlihan takes you on the next leg of the Vaquero Trail and introduces you to a whole different breed of cowboy. This 90 minute documentary has just been released and is taking the Vaquero horsemen community by storm.

Tapadero is the story of the Californio
Vaquero and how he became one of the world’s greatest horsemen. It
uncovers the secrets of the spade bit horse and rawhide reata, and
introduces you to the mainstays of vaquero horsemanship, past and present. |
The Remuda picks up where
Tapadero leaves off, and takes you to the land of the Buckaroo, the Great
Basin Country of Nevada and Oregon. You’ll get an insider’s look at famous
ranches, like the White Horse in the Owyhee Desert of Oregon and the
TS in Battle Mountain, NV. You’ll watch as they wrangle in their big
cavvys, and expertly rope out their horses for the buckaroos to go to
work. You’ll see them branding on the open range, using skills passed
down by their Californio forebears. |
Holo Holo Paniolo. The Hawaiian cowboys inherited a rich
history, originating with the vaqueros of Alta California,
when it was still part of Mexico. The filmmakers take
you to many of the ranches across 5 islands, the places where
wild cattle that inhabited the volcanic slopes of Mauna
Loa and Mauna Kea were chased down. Catching them demanded
great horsemanship and uncommon bravery. This courage under
fire is the birthright of the paniolo and prevails to this
day. This very engaging film also features great interviews
with original Paniolos and their music in the slack key guitar
style. |
