The Great Basin of eastern Oregon, northern
Nevada and northern California is one of the only places left
where you can still see the old vaquero-style buckaroo gear and
traditions. You find keepers of the old ways on ranches
and at ranch rodeos throughout the region. Look for silvered-up
bridles, fancy silver bits, beautifully trained bridle-horses,
big loop roping with 50-85’ ropes, fringed chinks, and
the flat hats worn by many who live the lifestyle. See
this website for
more than 40,000 photos of buckaroos!
Attend these events this year for a taste
of the the old west that still lives:
