“We can’t guide him that way because that’s who he is.”
Wow. Beautiful words from a parent.
Miss I wish all parents were like that 😔
@@kaion9557 i do to
@@kaion9557 same I haven’t got to ride for a year and I am pretty sure my mom is tryna guide me away from my dream of rodeos, I have only showed in two so far but I haven’t rode in a while and I think of riding horses and being in rodeos is a dream of mine a can reach but I can’t quite hold.
2020 anyone? He’s 14 now, just imagine how far he’s gone now. He will be a world champ if he continues on this road.
2020
Or 13
Mia me
I was thinking about that
Ya
Gonna sound weird but i was trying to find some information on Pecos and what he’s been up to and i found out that he’s still rodeoing and getting buckle after buckle. Parents are still his #1 supporters (that i’ve been seeing). This boy lives and breathes the western lifestyle of a cowboy. He’s doing great things, he’s grown so much, and he’s still the hardworking man we saw in this video🙏🏻
Love how he says sir to his dad everytime he answers him , don’t find much kids like that anymore
I love how they support this dream of his. I can relate to him actually. I wanted to be a professional contortionist, but now I want to be a pro wrestler. They support me through both dreams, and I hope at 14 he’s living his dream to the fullest. :D
I am a high school teacher and my family ropes. Trying to get my 7 and 9 yr old boys into it. Warms my heart to see such a well mannered respectful young man! I hope is living his dream and congratulations to his mama for being a world champ! Wow!
2024 anyone? He’s 18 now, just imagine how far he’s gone now. He will be a world champ if he continues on this road.
Heard about Pecos a year or so ago and will tell you he's everything they say he is. A real respectable young and upcoming cowboy. He understands that being a cowboy is a hard, painful, and unique road that's travelled with many bumps and bruises throughout one's life and rodeo career
I can’t imagine how old he is in 2024. It’s crazy and him being on a horse just two weeks old and going to a high school rodeo where he can’t even hold his own head. That’s insane to me.
Would love a follow video to see how he is doing. The class and demeanor of this cowboy is that of a champion and is just a boy. Truly amazing! Follow your dreams and have fun!
Great parents. The way his parents start with a prayer. Thats is awesome. And to be practicing instead of playing or being on the phone for hours. I wish i had the land and animals. I grew on a ranch with lots of animals. I wish i could give that to my children.. keep at it and always praise God almighty
Oh, that's rich! They say a prayer before abusing animals. Geez! Could you even be serious?
Well when YY eat a hamburger remember someone had to catch that cow like that and kill it. This isn’t cruel. I thinks it’s great they pray with him. We pray before I go in that ring. It’s ok. Get off this persons back guys.
Fancy the horse Praying doesn’t mean wish for good luck, it was a way for slaves when they’d bow down to their leaders.
i agree with you Mari Vargas praise the Lord almighty
You are great parents
With determination like he has, he WILL be successful and do well. Wow, what a great attitude he has, respectful and above all remembers to pray!! Great job Mom and Dad. 👍
Outstanding! May the Lord bless Pecos and all his fellow cowboys & cowgirls. Nice job of expressing what real cowboy & cowgirl competitors are made of. (Been there & done that.)
True Dedication! 100% Cowboy
I like how you rope
What about calf roping
But is that was good I really like this
1,000 dumb
It is refreshing to see this young man so dedicated and disaplined when so many young people today are heading off the rails Peco has his act together and working very hard and making quiet a name for himself in the rodeo circuits . He is a credit to his parent's who are obviously very proud of Peco especially his dad who he is following in his footsteps as a
bull rider and roper and his mom who had also competed in rodeos herself .
I Rode Bulls for ten years , and was raised a Cowboy ...
It's almost something that can't be explained..
What a great story..
Your parents must’ve had many heart attacks watching you out there. 😂
Hey Pecos your livin the dream bud. You're a little rodeo rockstar. Good luck on all your ventures. Can't wait to see you get that gold buckle! "Dominate"
Awesome kid! Great family, wish him all the best!
This kid could be the world champ some day.
wq
If not, he will be world class citizen for sure.
Not someday soon ther is no doubt
"I just want to make my mom and dad proud." Son!?!?! I can guarantee they are proud and will be with or without the gold buckle or even if you quit rodeo today. Seems to be a smart, handsome, hardworking young man. Any mom and dad would be proud to say; "There goes my son."
Keep it up bud! I can’t wait to see your name in Vegas
he is amazing I support him all the way
One of the best videos I've ever watched...I love how he says "yes sir"
Joseph Darger Jr you and I both know that We were raised right and raised to respect everyone.
He is abusing animals
The Alpha & The Omega 😂 your serious? Sorry it’s just so funny. Your basically saying “real men” abuse animals? Correct? And FYI it doesn’t matter if it’s been done for a long time. Still doesn’t make tying up calves, and harming animals right.
That’s standard etiquette in the South
Wow what a dude, 10 year old boy he is a great cowboy. 100%dedication one day I'll see him in top rodeo. Good looking kid.
Being raised on a ranch/farm is the best. It's how I grew up and I have to say I miss it a lot.
Big bright future ahead of this kid.
your doing great Pecos Tatum keep it up!
Kid has heart I love it keep it buddy u will be a world champion one day u keep working like u are God bless
Pecos. Keep reachin for your dreams. Don't let go. You will make it. You will hold that gold buckle one day. Safe travels. God bless buddy. GO GET IT.
You have to listen close, but at .32 after his chute handler says " talk to him " the kids says " I'll kick his ass " GREAT STUFF.... talented young man :)
He says "I'll take you there"...
@@19DarkHorse76 you must have a ear bud out or something
Wish I had such a supportive dad like him. my real dad couldn’t care less about me, Haven’t seen him since I was 3.
Dang I’m sorry I hope you doing good
Hope your doing better now man
2021? Hope he keeps on this road! You go kid!!!
Handsome boy! God bless him!
My son just turned 7 and asked me and is dad after horseback riding to allow him to learn the ropes to being a cowboy and rope tie. I got emotional and extremely proud of him wanting to be whatever He Wants to Be!!
@@fern-liberationlakdnd it seems like youtube finally discovered your true colors, your true intentions, and the person you truly are! I guess that's a victory for us!
@@fern-liberationlakdnd I can't believe you won't stop trolling people and targeting even kids with your comments and replies!! THAT'S IT! I'M REPORTING YOU!!!!
@@pitgroove.37_66 Can I get an AMEN!!
@@gatorgamer4986 AMEN BROTHER! As long as this has gone on, I am beyond sick and tired of mediocre animal activists like Fern who won't stop trolling other users just because they are against her beliefs!
@@gatorgamer4986 WE DID IT BROTHER!!!! Every single one of Fern's comments and replies has been removed from every single video she's ever commented on!!
His dad reminds me so much of Adam sandler.
What a great amazing lil guy, with a great humble amazing family, Pecos, you keep working and reach for the stars buddy, you ha e great rewards, like that Buckle in your hands.. Thank you for Sharing this my family enjoyed watching.. High five from Minnesota.
im from MN too!
Excellent video... ! It's nice to see some fellow Texans raising their kids to become good young men.
He is 15 in 2021 hope he gets his highest rank and gets the gold buckle he has always wanted WISH YOU LUCK CHAMP!!!
Damn, I miss our farm. Never had animals but we couldve put horses on. Freshman in highschool looking to start a first generation ranch later on, currently starting to work as a ranchhand. Keep up the good work brotha!
I learned at a very young age as well!
'We just try to train him in the right way'
the poor animals that have gone through so much during 'training'
Nah they are bred for this specifically
It clearly sounds to me like you know absolutely nothing about the sport of rodeo at all! If only you knew more about the sport of rodeo then you actually do.
@@pitgroove.37_66 if you know so much then explain
@@octaviusfok4186 I'll explain, as I am around rodeo. These animals are bred specifically for this purpose. The calves that they use for roping are the toughest calves in the country. Not to mention rodeo livestock are the best treated livestock ever. Did you know that, contrary to popular belief, rodeo broncos only buck if they are happy? Sick/injured/neglected/abused livestock refuse to preform. Also, rodeo livestock get injured way less than humans that play sports. The injury rate of rodeo animals is astronomically low. Only 0.05% of animals will ever have injuries (Obviously does not include natural illness). That means that one in 5,000 animals will get injured in their whole career. Rodeo riders get injured way more times than that. Almost 25% of tie down ropers will get injured during their careers! And over 90% of bull riders will have injuries! Nowadays, there are over 60 rules and regulations regarding humane animal care both in and out of the arena! I hope this clears up any concerns about animal welfare in rodeos! Here is a link to the PRCA's livestock rules if you want to further investigate: www.prorodeo.com/prorodeo/livestock/livestock-welfare-rules Have a good day!
@@octaviusfok4186 what is it that you even want to know?
Some people don’t get how tough some of these animals are I support this kid
Hes gonna be a legend
No he’s not
laughter smallcanyon why would u say that
Dang pecos you’re gonna have to be my mentor and you’re younger than me
Props to Pecos Tatum. Competing in rodeo is no joke. I always give mad respect to anyone who participates in this sporting event. It takes a ton of skill, concentration etc...Pecos Tatum will get that gold buckle. No doubt about it. Bravo to his parents. You are doing a brilliant job raising your boy. I also want to give props to the people responsible for this documentary. Well done.
What the lucky kid to have good parents like that
Bright young kid! Keep ‘em going! Your heading towards a great career!
Sometimes I wonder why I ride English I LOVE ENGLISH but I think it would be cool to try western.
I like western
Sso_legend western is rlly nice. especially the community your exposed to at rodeos and such. i’ve always rode western and i love it
The Western community is really cool, rodeos are a blast and everyone's got enough grit to fill a barrel.
Its not that hard but if you really want to be a cowboy start by roping 👍🏻
You would we almost rich if you be a champion and win the NFR
Kid gonna go far in life.
Hello my family is from Albuquerque New Mexico we watch your videos I send my blessings with your family I think that you guys sound like awesome parents and you keep up the good work and that's great that you support your son with anything he may want to do with his life whether it's dangerous or not I think that you guys are wonderful parents God bless

I am 10 years old ad I watch this video everyday and I love riding horses and this video makes me want to ride more than I want to write now good luck out there
This video is the definition of the faces you make during roping and barrels and poles
i barrel race, cross country jump, calf roping and so much more and everytime it a thrill
Danisha Mac Donald if they easily died then there would be tons but I’ve have yet to have die from roping and there not newborns there at the age where there already weaned. After there done there put in a pasture they got a pretty layer back life
Danisha Mac Donald they can’t dye from being roped
@Danisha Mac Donald they can't die from being roped and it's not abuse at all
I wish I could get into barrel racing but I’m 16 now and idk if I can ever get into it at this age. But gosh I would love to ride some horses and barrel race them, you’re really lucky 😁😁
@@hai.lashae844 definitely try it you can totally get into it I'm 18 and started at 16 and am getting really good at it
🎵"I should've been a cowboy. I should've learned to rope and riidee...
Wearing my six-shooter, riding my pony on the cattle drive..."🎵
I'm not a country music fan whatsoever, but always liked that song and this kid reminded me of it. He's working hard on his dreams. That's awesome. Very amazing kid. Very headstrong.
song name?
With a name like that your destined to greatness.
He’s too cute. God bless yall
Pecos Tatum, I WILL see you win that Gold Buckle. It’s just a matter of time Bud. 👍🏽
youer not rghit
Heck yea boy keep going at it and you'll be a modern day lane frost
Could he be any more adorable?
What a brave boy to be interviewed! I’d be shy!!!
They’re such amazing parents and so supportive!
They are awesome parents I wish my parents were that supportave which I mean they support me a LOT but definitely not that much
Best of luck, and the Lord is always with you✌🏻
He's really lucky to have this chance some people dream of doing this as a living and only a handful can
Now there's one hell of a drive in that kid right there my dad and uncle are great ropers and they sold our horses and last steers when I was younger now I'm 17 and gettin back in to it. Been workin on my uncles horses for 8 years now it's time for my own.
You guys are so fortunate and blessed.really admire you.I have never been to Texas,but this is where true cowboys come from.
Utah, Wyoming, Montana, south Dakota, Nebraska and you can't forget the NFR is in navada
Hadley Odenbach don’t forget Colorado!
Don’t forget Florida and Mexico
But texas is it.....
So your saying people who shock and abuse animals that are not wild to be wild are blessed
I love how he says itty bitty. This kid is awesome
this little boy should be proud of himself nobody else got that high did they and he I pretty good at this keep it up good job
That's cool how young he is to be so good at rodeo
Go pecas i love cowboys too :)
I love barrel racing,pole bending, bull riding, goat tying, and breakaway
my_perfect life I feel sorry when they get tied up they r just thrown to the ground
What about teamroping
my_perfect life You mean you like breaking horses legs, throwing goats to the ground (whilst terrifying them), breaking the peace of leaving bulls alone (they were not made to be ridden), possibly breaking their elbow, forearm, knee, cannon, pastern, and in the worst cases their shoulder. (This can both work with pole bending and barrel racing).
*_No Videos_* snowflake this is why we have so many city folks stay out of our business city boy
Hadley Odenbach yes that’s an event I’ve recently gotten into
This kid inspires me
This is what I'm gonna do, I'm going to barrel race though but I just started riding (I'm doing bareback first) so I have a long ways away before i will be a world champion
He is 14 now, and I just saw him at a rodeo In Guthrie Oklahoma last weekend
How did he do?
I want to meet him, Fallon taylor, and dale brisby SOOOOOOOOO badly
He’s been doing it since the start and every year you do atleast 1000 hours of practice and 10000 hours makes somebody a pro of their profession
It's so awesome that you thank the lord for keeping your son and family safe
And what about the animals he's abusing? Putz!
@@seraphinemoreau1386 give 10 good ways he abusing any animals in this video
Has great control of his free arm when I ride my free arm is everywhere such a awesome story
Any fellow barrel racers
this video inspird me to be who I am now a cowgirl and im proud of it
You do what you want 👍🏻
Gabrielle Olney same I started riding at age 7
He's on yellow stone needs to be recording I miss it every week:(
amazing story! I cant imagine how far he's gotten! He is a decade and a half old! Whew! I wonder if he has gotten one of those Gold Buckles yet. If not so, i will still support him. Ride on, Pecos, Ride on!
@@fern-liberationlakdnd how about instead of judging us, try being one of us and then see for yourself! How can you say such bold statements when you haven't even walked in our shoes EVER!
@@fern-liberationlakdnd FU You misinformed extremist
@@fern-liberationlakdnd you have to absolutely be the fakest account I've ever run into
Yo this is dope, at first I thought bull ridding was stupid af, but after this doc I fell in love watching this. When does the season start for bull ridding. It's like football but way more extreme.
its year round bubba. look up rodeos near you on google, and when youre there ask around where you can find your local buckout.
dj87865 oi
Man you have no idea how much work rodeo Cowboys and even ranch Cowboys put in they work 6 times harder than any football players
It's nothing like football, footballs a sport, this is a lifestyle
Chris Hollier you should check out my TH-cam channel I'm getting started. It's about horses and riding and roping. Hope you subscribe.
hey dudes amm watching this for a school project
awsomeness of reversing what for
Good luck
Jealous!
Awesome wish I would of had a chance wen younger always loved the cowboy life lived on many farms but my dad was a farm hand we were pretty poor would have loved it nothing better than a rodeo this kid can rope
Such a pro I went to nationals this year never even heard his name
Think about how well this kid is going to be prepared to endure and survive the knocks of life. I would describe this film as a demonstration of one of those things IN life that, with brutal honesty, shows you what you’re made of, but also how much of that is in your own hands. Combining that with the strength of his faith, and his understanding of where TRUE strength and power lies, and having given his life over to the greatest of powers, living fearless, unassailable by the powers of evil, and able to stand clean and righteous before a most Holy God, NOT by his own power, but by having embraced, through Christ, the all-encompassing forgiveness offered by that very same Holy God. … All of that taken together, is the formula for what we see before us here - one formidable young man. … He will NOT be told what he cannot do, nor will he writhe in crippling guilt and self-doubt ... and if God be with him, who will stand against him? Who is greater? The One who is in him, or the one who is in the world? As far as I’m concerned, such is the Kingdom.
love how the kid wears a feather on his hat like lane!

Love it too! Lane is my hero

It is sad that lane died though but he is very expiring
I have now watched this over 15 times
2021 now he’s probably a GOAT now!!
A do all the sports in the rodeo but he’s amazing at this
Bring that boy down to Pecos, Texas home of the worlds first rodeo (Supposedly lol) and our famous pecos cantaloupes (Sweetest there is)
The rodeo came out of northern mexico and ofc texas counted buts its not a texan thing
VAQUERO de MONTERREY NUEVO LEON negative brother. I actually googled it and it says nothing of it originating in northern Mexico. My town is in west Texas which is a 3 hour drive to Mexico. So we’re not far from the border. The towns that keep popping up is mine and a few others like Santa Fe NM. No one really knows where’s lmk the first rodeo was
My boys are the same way god bless and hope to see you down the road
Great story. So sweet.
I'm a barrel racer us rodeo people are tough
horse lover damn right
Hell yes we’re tougher then the football players
Where tougher then this kid jk this kids got some guts
Yes, true
Yup
I came here for the pissed off vegans.
TaffiCatt wtf are you dumb every person that thinks right thinks that rodeos are abusive
@@hannahstorp9608 grammar please. You eight year old
TaffiCatt sorry I’m just learning English
@@hannahstorp9608 I was joking btw (with the vegans and stuff)
Me too,😅
Man that’s crazy he 16 now hope he’s still doing good with rodeo
Awesome way to start the weekend, have a good one.
Please tell me I'm not the only jumper here
I think you are
Probably 🤣🤣🤣
"If gravity is force that pull us down, then why ppl on the other side of earth doesn't fell off to the space?"
me (as a people who live on the other side of his settlement, 12 hours time difference) : "so you think people on the other side of earth are living upside down?"
Abyss Walker you literally answered ur own questions
I found this so interesting to see how people ride western/rodeo, I myself ride English so I like to see how other styles of equestrianism is ridden in. I think that every equestrian out there is tough because you are , no matter what discipline you ride, are dealing with a big animal. I do showjumping, of course there is the risk of falling and getting stood on and breaking ribs on the jump poles. I also do cross country, we're there is the risk of hitting your self on solid jumps. As well as dressage, you have the risk of falling off, it might feel like a tiny fall but could get injured very badly!!!🐴
I ride English too for the most part, but I always find western to be my comfort place because it can be easier to maintain my balance with my center of mass shifted lower down into my upper leg versus in my hips. (Your leg position is more of a squat when riding English whereas in western it’s like standing a bit. I find it a bit wobbly to balance with my legs straighter but I can totally have a deeper seat this way whereas my seat while riding English is very hard to find.) I actually ride wenglish (western in English tack because I don’t have western tack) after a lesson and it’s nice when I score a western horse because they go right into a relaxed western state when they feel my legs are longer and my mouth contact is minimal.
This kid calls his dad Sir and that shows allot of respect. I can see this little britches cowboy going along way. Get ready there. This little kid is going to make a Mark in RODEO..
