Summer…. the best time for filming, riding in clinics and shooting photos for the magazine. In the case of this clinic with Bruce Sandifer, I was able to do all three in one place! Karen Ross hosted a series of clinics with Bruce which were such a blend of learning, socializing and friendship. Those summer […]
With clinician Peter Campbell working out of his home-ranch in Wheatland, Wyoming for winter months, it was a good opportunity to visit and do some gazette filming. Peter had a filly in mind that we could film over a period of time, starting with halter breaking this visit with the plan to film her progress […]
Being out and about is all good and fun, but it’s not the entire enchilada. Once we have the filmed then we have to come home and mark, import, tag, label, organize, storyboard, edit, and re-edit! Truly there isn’t much that is trimmed in our production, because we think it’s necessary and valuable to take […]
We packed up the crew of Sydney Rose, Steve and me then traveled up to Strawberry Creek Ranch outside of Granby, Colorado to film a few horsemanship segments on working young horses on cattle with Joe Wolter. It’s about a 3.5 hour drive from us to where Joe was summering; a facility named the Strawberry Creek […]
After a long year off from riding I had the chance to ride with Buck Brannaman at his ranch in Sheridan, Wyoming. What an opportunity! It was my second time being able to attend one of Buck’s clinics at his ranch…. and let me tell you, it spoils you from riding in any other kind […]
Filming with Martin Black at the Alvord Ranch, photos here from his second Classic Rodea Style Ranch Roping DVD, was a great experience. The Davis Family could not have been nicer and the roping crew was a blast to work with. The Alvord Ranch is set at the base of the Steens Mountains and its […]
Memorial day weekend found us lucky to film close to home with renown horsemanship and ranch roping instructor Scott Grosskopf. Thankful to be able to film just over in Kiowa! Our friend and neighbor Ty Weber brings Scott down for a roping clinic each Memorial day weekend, and even though the weather can be a […]
After departing the Californios we had planned on filming with Martin Black for some Gazette segments. We hadn’t released the first issue yet and we were eagerly gathering as much content as we could knowing that we wanted to release the first issue in the fall. With our truck full of inventory left-over from the […]
We had a great time filming with Richard Caldwell at his place in Alturas, California. The weather was chilly but we had a lot of fun setting up some great exercises for the Gazette and some really neat footage of Richard wrangling in the horses for intro material. Most memorable meal; taking little Syd to […]
We were out in Red Bluff, California for the Californios Ranch Roping and Stock Horse Contest, and being as we were so close we added a trip up to Alturas, California after the event to do some filming. First stop was with Bryan and Patty Neubert at their ranch. Bryan said at first he hadn’t been sure […]
