Me either!! We watched some of it and all I could think of was they must be paying them lots of money so they could make them all look so stupid. I couldn't even watch it.

Location: SW New Mexico | I hope they get paid well by the owners of the livestock ....according to the difficulty of the job!
Watusi and Mexican fighting bulls?? whew!
At least they catch them and return them alive, and not shoot and kill them like the police would probably do......
They are sure providing a heck of a service, and man those rope horses are good working horses!
Interesting show..
JMO..

| I'm thinking a good dart gun would have been better then running them so much. |

Weird fact I learned is that any drug used in a dart gun that will actually do more than make an animal really drunk has a greater than 50% (might be 75% my finals brain is not to be trusted) chance of being lethal to the animal. Which sucks because I so agree  |

Location: hot, humid and dry...Gulf coast East of Houston.. | I caught some of it earlier today... The one from Liberty County (Jeffcoats) that was filmed about 5 minutes from me. I was watching it, and had to chuckle. I know some Jeffcoats, I never knew they were doing a show... LOL And I have never heard of Bradley having "Mexican fighting bulls" ... but what do I know.. LOL |

My thoughts exactly. A lot quicker and not as dangerous, but it wouldn't have made much of a story. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I watched. What i can hardly stomach is the narrator. WHO tells him what to say? That person needs replaced! I cracked up when the narrator called that skinny paint mare " the elusive STALLION"! I was thinking they probably could have caught that paint with a flake of hay and a bucket of grain. (But that doesn't make for good TV like chasing it around for hours and never getting within 300 yards of it.) Gary kept saying they (the Champions.) need to get faster horses. LOL |

Location: Central Texas | Since I have been involved in gathering errant and sometimes really wild cattle, I had to watch it. I'm certainly no pro, but have worked with some of the best and saw plenty of mistakes on the tv show, but I think it is interesting in that it exposes some of the rest of the world to what horses can really do. Those kind of horses sure get really broke and learn to think in a crisis. Since moving east, I don't do it and my young horses simply don't have any jobs that make them into "broke to death" using horses. Side note: I've tried filming while gathering and that is not easy! |

Location: My Own Little World | So, I watched it the other day because it was on right before the NFR. Well, just like any ither "reality" show, took it with a grain of salt. If I were those guys, they'd have to be paying me a boat load of money to be making me look that ridiculous |
