NEW!! Tierra Encanado- (The New Mexican Cowboy)
#6 In The Vaquero Series
98 minutes $20.00
Four hundred years ago, the Spaniards introduced the horse to the American West. El caballo, as the Spanish called the horse, had a profound effect on this new world. The horse provided transportation for the padres, gave Native Americans mobility. And for the Vaqueros, he provided the underpinnings for the ranching culture and the foundation for the American Cowboy.

The descendants of those early settlers still live in New Mexico and many of them still speak the dialect of the Conquistadors. Descendants of those early caballos are still here, too. The foundation the Spaniards laid for ranching is still practiced on the big spreads — the Bell Ranch, Pecos Ranch and San Cristobal Ranch. It’s all part of this great Southwestern melting pot where Spanish, Indian and Anglo come together, each preserving their own traditions, but forging a colorful culture unique to Tierra Encantado — the land of enchantment. Underscored by New Mexico’s finest cowboy singers and musicians.

Los Primeros– (The First Vaqueros)
#5 In The Vaquero Series
98 minutes $20.00
The Vaquero’s roots go deep. His beginnings are on the other side of the world, It’s been a long journey — 15 centuries — back to the Moors of North Africa and their nimble Barb horses. To Spain, where the blending of Moorish and Spanish horse cultures laid the groundwork for the bridle horse that was the hallmark of these superb reinsmen. To Mexico, where the underpinnings for roping and handling cattle on the open range evolved. And to California where it all came together. Here, the secrets of training horses through centuries of practice came full flower. And the hackamore, romal reins and spade bit were refined. The best of these proud Vaqueros earned the title “Californio.” Filmed in Spain, Mexico, California and the American West.

Houlihan- (The Northern Range Cowboy)
#4 In The Vaquero Series
95 minutes $20.00
As the buckaroos brought cattle up from the Great Basin, Texas punchers brought longhorns up the Goodnight Loving Trail. The two cultures met in Wyoming/Montana territory and the Northern Range Cowboy was born. To make a hand here, you must be able to ride rough horses with plenty of buck in em’ and stick it out through long, cold winters. Houlihan takes you on the next leg of the Vaquero Trail and introduces you to a whole different breed of cowboy.

Holo Holo Paniolo- (The Hawaiian Cowboy)
#3 In The Vaquero Seris
96 minutes. $20.00
Holo holo in Hawaiian means to get around. And the filmmakers holo holo you to many of the ranches across 5 islands. The Hawaiian cowboys inherited a rich history, originating with the vaqueros of Alta California, when it was still part of Mexico. The vaqueros were held in such high esteem that in 1833, King Kamehameha sent for three of them to teach his people how to rope and ride and catch the wild cattle. This task was not for the faint of heart. The wild cattle grazed on the volcanic slopes of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea and were chased down (sometimes in the dead of night), roped and tied to trees. The next morning, the paniolo would untie the snorting bull, snub him to his saddle horn and “lead him” down the mountain. Needless to say, this demanded great horsemanship and uncommon bravery. This courage under fire is the birthright of the paniolo. From the vaqueros’ Spanish guitars, the paniolo created the slack key guitar style. Its melodic, silky strains are interwoven throughout this enriching, amusing, and very engaging film

The Remuda - (The Buckaroo)
#2 In The Vaquero Seris
90 minutes $20.00
In a remote Nevada cow camp, they jingle in the remuda. There’s a chill in the air, and steam rises up off the horses backs. The jigger boss’s rope whistles through the air, expertly landing on target. A buckaroo picks up a horse, halters and leads him to the corral. It’s a ritual that seems almost choreographed, but to a buckaroo, it’s just part of another day, an outgrowth of a tradition that goes back 300 years, to the original Californio Vaqueros. This is the story of how it began in Alta,California, moved into the Great Basin country of Nevada and Oregon, and shaped one of the world’s greatest horse cultures. In The Remuda, you’ll get a first-hand look at what this buckaroo life is all about, even get a front row seat at the Jordan Valley Big Loop Rodeo, where they rope wild horses with a twenty foot loop. And when the buckaroos come down California’s Tejon Ranch for an old- fashioned roping contest, you¹ll get a vivid reminder of where it all began.

Tapadero - (The Californio)
#1 In The Vaquero Series
82 minutes $20.00
With their slick-fork saddles and silver spade bits, the Californio Vaqueros still trail cattle through the golden hills of California. Meet the men and women who work the ranches and carry the tradition forward — stalwarts like Ernie Morris, the descendants of expert horsemen Bill and Tom Dorrance, and the young folks who are reviving the vaquero traditions. From the hackamore, to the two-rein, to straight up in the bridle, see how they make a horse as fluid as silk. Learn their secrets to braiding the rawhide reata and throwing the figure eight.

Vaquero 35 minutes $15.00
There's a misconception these days that the cowboy is a thing of the past — a heroic icon, but nonetheless a relic. Vaquero will change your mind as this 35-minute documentary takes you to some of the cattle ranches on California's central coast, where they still run cattle over the same rolling hills their ancestors rode more than 200 years ago.
In those days, the California cowboys were called vaqueros, and were revered as some the the world's greatest horsemen. The vaqueros ran cows over Santa Ynez's beautiful, but formidable landscape — steep soaring hills and deep ravines. And needless to say, working cattle in this country is not for the faint of heart. It took brave horses and brave men to ride them. This 35-minute exploration into the cowboy culture takes the viewer to the great land grant ranches, features interviews with cattlemen and cowboys and cowgirls who are living the life their forebears did —and enjoying every minute of it.
*Not part of the Vaquero Series but qualifies for $1.50 discount if you buy 2 or more DVD’s.

The Set Tapadero, The Remuda, Holo Holo Paniolo, Houlihan, Los Primeros, Tierra Encantado – The First Vaqueros

The Vaqueros came with the Conquistadors to the American West four centuries ago. They brought their horsemanship skills and ranching know-how with them. Spain’s rich tradition of horsemanship was developed into the vaquero horse used for handling cattle, branding, roundups and cattle drives. All these skills used in American ranching today. The Vaquero Series pays tribute to the Spanish influence on the American West. The series takes you back to Spain and Mexico where the skills were developed, and to all sectors of the American West where each region developed its own interpretation. The first Spanish settlement was Santa Fe in 1600. Later, in 1769 the Spaniards colonized California. From these two points, the Vaquero culture spread throughout the West and all the way to Hawaii. But each area developed a style uniquely its own. This Series takes you down the historical road, but not with dusty old photos. Instead, you meet working cowboys who have inherited this rich history and use it in their working lives every day. This is a colorful, entertaining series featuring real cowboys and cowgirls, underscored by the music of genuine cowboy singers and musicians who have spent many long hours in the saddle. The six-part series gives you nine hours, not just of entertainment, but of solid useful information. You’ll you want to watch it over and over again. The Series: Tapadero (the Californio), The Remuda (the Buckaroo), Holo Holo Paniolo (The Hawaiian Cowboy), Houlihan (The Northern Range Cowboy), Los Primeros (The First Vaqueros) and Tierra Encantado (The New Mexican Cowboy).

Rarely has there been a documentary produced that shows such a deep and true understanding of the culture of working cowboys and their families. In one hour's time anyone will clearly understand why the spirit of the American West is not at all a thing of myth, rumor or history, but actually a truth that has at last been captured on film for posterity. We give this video our highest recommendation! —Taylor Fogarty, Entertainment Editor, American Western Magazine - ReadTheWest.com
