Gear for the Modern Cowboy, According to 'Win or Lose'

You know your gear says a lot about you—but have you ever wondered what your horse thinks about it? Win or Lose has spent years under a saddle and has a pretty solid opinion on everything from hats to boots to saddles.

In this series of blogs, we’ll dive into the essential gear for the modern cowboy, but from a horse’s perspective. Ever thought about how your boots feel after a 10-hour ride? Win or Lose has, and he’ll let you know which boots are the most comfortable (and which ones you’ll regret).

We’ll also cover saddles (because we all know they’re more than just something to sit on) and hats (spoiler: it’s not just about looking good). Whether you’re a seasoned rancher or just starting out, Win or Lose will help you find the gear that works for you—and your trusty steed.

This series of blogs will explore some of the life lessons Win or Lose has learned along the way. Some are humorous, some are deep, but all are practical. If you’ve ever wondered about the lessons learned on the open range, this is your chance to hear them firsthand from a horses POV.

From the art of patience (you don’t get a treat until you earn it) to the importance of knowing when to trust your instincts (like when to ignore that pesky fly), these stories will not only make you chuckle but give you valuable insights into the rhythm of life.
