Just a side note on some of these pictures.  Are we breeding bigger horses these days or are cowboys from that era taller?

Some of those horses look positively runty.

I did some research on Mallard, Texas. It is still in existence and it is located in the southeastern corner of Montague County. Montague County is a couple of counties north of Fort Worth.

It looks like they all have their pants over their boots. Does that suggest this was posed rather than impromptu?

I think those boys are dressed to go to town. No ropes on the saddles.

It took a bit of breeding to get bigger horses. I've worked cattle from dusk 'til dark on the same pony. Most old time Coiwboys had a string to use. I'm not real sure horses then were any tougher or smarter than today's working horse. 'Scar' is 25 years old and still rides pretty good.
