Bayou Cowboys of Louisiana

Louisiana is where cowboying goes along with part-time ‘gator hunting. And Cajun and Zydeco music packs more kick than a Crawfish Étouffée. Cattle handling draws on many roots — France, Canada, Africa Spain, with a little Texas thrown in, too. Here muddy marshlands, drenching rains, and vicious hurricanes wield their influence on horses, saddles and the intrepid cowboys who ride them. So when it comes to gear, practicality rules. In this country, a cow can thrive on an acre or two of grass. But a rider better pay attention when checking those cows, a gator can spook your horse if he is caught by surprise. Underscored with local Cowboy Cajun and Zydeco music. 90 minutes.
