liver all his power at every jump. I know that with every hour of
training and every bronc I ride, I will begin to see and feel more
during each of my rides."
Bronc riding is about controlling your emotions while learning
about yourself and the horse you draw. Ty feels a sense of accom-
plishment and purpose, and said most who ride bronc do. There
is a strong community that is supportive and will help you to be
the best bronc rider you can be. Ty is thankful for that. Bronc
riding, and his passion for it, make Ty feel whole.
At the end of our conversation, Ty said, "I've walked this path
many times in my career and I'm smiling through the buck offs and
mild pain because I know what being disciplined will lead to. Not to
mention I'm thankful to be able to walk this path at nearly 51."
Bronc riding might have evolved over the years from its early
days, but the bond between cowboy and horse remains the same.
When the chute opens and I watch the cowboy and horse merge,
I can now understand a fraction more of what I did not before.
Ty's words will run through my mind: "Watching a horse and
cowboy together is poetry in motion."
Let 'er buck.
