I recently photographed a ranch roping in Purcell Ok. Thousands of pictures to go through and as I got to work on them I started getting inspired by the horses. So I started writing…

//

I see the horses.
Closing their eyes before the rope pops
Pinning their ears as their cowboy loads up to throw. As if he’s dialing one in himself.

I see the horses
Carrying, giving their all
when they’d be just as well grazing at home.
But they find themselves here. Entered up for whatever reason.

I see the horses
Cocking a back leg once the ropes tight.
Confident. They’ve got it.

I see the horses
Asking which foot. This one. Now this one.
With one ear on the stock and another on the rider.

They reflect their cowboy
In confidence or lack thereof
In pride
In fight or flight
In posture
In grace
In step

I see the horses
And I can’t help be taught
To partner up when called.
Truly,
partner up.
