The old wooden wagon rubles up to the old west town. The townsfolk stop their work and head over to greet the stranger. The stranger hops down from the wagon, he starts to unlock all the unique compartments and toolbox and starts to say,
"Step right up folks, my name is Buckaroo John. I have here in my good old wagon some fine quality leather horse tack. Step right up to feel and smell the quality leather. I have reins, headstalls, bridles, and my newest beauty...... a genuine hand crafted leather saddle."
Yes that is right folks, Buckaroo John Brand is taking the "show on the Road". Make sure to keep in touch with Buckaroo John via facebook and twitter to find out where the Travelin' Buckaroo Roadshow will be next.

Veterans Using Horses
to Help Other Veterans

Buckaroo Leather supports our military and veterans. A Buckaroo fans and customers, Dan Files and Mike McGowan use their love for horses and horsemanship to entertain the veterans at the veteran hospitals with their Wounded Warrior Shows.
Dan and his horse, Dollar sporting his Buckaroo Leather Bitless Bridle, entertain the veterans during the show. Dan was injured in the upper chest, neck and face and lost his voice and all feeling. Dan was at a recent show, doing his part, and was surprised to see his son-in-law sitting in the stands. He had just gotten back from Afghanistan less than 48 hours prior to the show. He wanted to surprise Dan at the show because usually he does the shows with Dan.
Dan and his son-in-law are not the only two in the show. Colonel Mike McGowen is also apart of the show. The Colonel is paralyzed from the waist down but rides in a special saddle on his own horse.
Colonel Dell is also part of the show. The Colonel was injured in the face and lost the site in his eye for 10 months. Colonel Dell was in the Pentagon on 9-11-2001 when the plane crashed into the Pentagon. He was injured trying to help rescue other workers from the building.
These men are true heroes!! They embody the true cowboy spirit of patriotism, independence and strength. Please support these amazing men (and horses) by visiting the Martinsburg VA Medical Center website and facebook fan page.
"We are very close and nothing can separate our brotherhood, no busted bodies or broken limbs can break our spirit. We stand together and no terrorist can ever defeat us."- Dan Files
Remember to Ride as a Proud American!!!

Passing on the
Passion of Safety

Jerry Tindell
Passing on the Passion of Safety
Most Mule owners are passionate about their animals and the lifestyle that goes with it. We want to share that passion with others we meet, whether they are friends, family, or complete strangers who are interested in our mules. Therefore, it is our responsibility to demonstrate and communicate safety to others, especially to the next generation. Safety should always be our first concern at all times. We cannot assume or become lax when it comes to safety. BY planning ahead, consciously developing lessons and skills to create good safety habits, we can help invest in the next generation to set them up for success.
Our first responsibility is to make sure we ourselves are educated to be safe around the stock. We need to make it a higher priority to remain aware at all times when we are around our mules and horses. We need to get out of the mindset that our animals are like lap dogs that give us a warm, fuzzy feeling and realize they are more like a loaded gun. If we think of them in terms of gun control, it means you use both hands, and pay attention to what you are doing, and what is going on around you at all times. Here are some general rules to follow:
A- All mules are loaded- they can run, jump, kick, and bite when you least expect it.
B- Never allow the animals (known or unknown) to be approached unannounced or from an unsafe position.
C-Don't do things that will cause the animal to respond in a negative manner, such as not announcing our approach or doing things that might scare them. Often kids will move quickly or do things that will unknowingly create fear in an animal. Make sure the stock is educated and don't have these responses.
D-It must be stressed that these general safety rules are not just designed for approaching and grooming, they are designed for anyone who handles or rides mules and horses.
