I’ve wanted to visit Durango for years. Ride the train, see the fall colors, explore the town.
I enjoy going to events that bring like-minded people together. I love meeting, getting to know and learning from makers, other professionals and horsemen and -women in their natural habitat. And like live music, especially when there’s dancing involved.
Thanks to friends and connections in the Mustang and backcountry horse packing community, this year it’s all coming together.
I’m headed over the pass to the Durango Cowboy Gathering next week. I look forward to listening to the Bar D Wranglers on Wednesday night, watching the horseback social, street exhibits and cowboy parade on Saturday, and listening to as many cowboy poets and singer/songwriters as I can!
The weather should be perfect, the fall colors in full swing and the line-up is great.
The cowboy way of life, backcountry riding and wild horses all deserve to survive and thrive in our modern world and in order to do that, they all need us to show up.
I hear there will be Mustangs in the horseback social and the parade on Saturday!
I hope to see many of you there and maybe even meet in person if we’ve only connected on social media so far. Bring your friends, loved ones and your good riding horse.
The Durango Cowboy Gathering starts next Wednesday, October 2nd, and concludes on Sunday, October 6th.
