Here is a close up of one of the cowboys in the big loop contest at the Klamath Bull Sale this year. Look at how interesting his chinks, boots and spurs are. Notice the horsehair rope, braided riata and the woven wool horse blanket. I was intrigued by all the finery of the Cowboys. Some came as far away as Canada, and you could see the differences in dress and tack from the different regions that they represented.
