Can't get enough of life eh Randy? I'm over half-way to age 72. I've worked alone most of my life on horseback with a pack string in Idaho's backcountry and wilderness. When I'm out there my bedroll is never dry, I've been scared, hungry, thirsty, windburnt, frozen and wonderin' if I'm lost the rest of the time. I've been bitten, thrown, kicked all to hell, had heatstroke, hyperthermia, frostbite, broken neck, broken back, heart attack, several surgeries and no regrets. I still carry a pocketknife, chocolate bars and fishin' worms in my pocket. And like you, I'm still lookin' to see what's just over the next ridge... ;-)
Things have changed, no free land government took it all. Thieves. Taken wild horses under false pretense. 🐎🐎 Farms nothing like they should be cause of co-ops dank monopoly. Monopolies have distorted framing as it should be.
im 62 rode horses most my life. got bucked off at 15 broke my arm bad, stayed two weeks in hospital, never stopped riding. i love this story, keep riding Randy, ride till we die and live free !
Recently met Randy Johnson and golly, he is an amazing man. He was our horseback riding guide at Circle Bar B Stables in Santa Barbara. 10/10 recommend.
I’m 55 ain’t been on a horse in 12 yrs ! I trained some rough horses , stuff that a reputation for hurting people ! Loved , and miss it but damn, I can’t hold a candle to this man ! He is my HERO !
Had the pleasure of meeting Randy , while on a trail ride with my wife, at a ranch on the coast of California, just north of Santa Barbara. We were luck enough to be the only 2 people on the Ride that Randy hosted. Lots of stories and got to spend a few precious hours with this legend. Great Memories !!
God Bless you Mr Johnson.. The world needs more like you. I'm not a cowboy although I grew up watching them on tv.. I've tried to live my life like one. You sir are a true inspiration..
In my heart I am just like Randy Johnson. I like this dude because he tells the truth and we both love horses and doing horsey stuff. All the best Randy from a crazy Kiwi horseman from down under. I am only 59 years of age but I love hitting the ground after being bucked off a horse because I feel so alive upon impacting with the ground plus its good fun. Lift and hustle, hang on for just one more try is essentially what life is all about. Top man Randy Johnson.
You have inspired me sir, to never give up, even when the so called odds are against you. God bless. I have been suffering with my own problems and glad to see your courage.
Goose bumps, absolutely amazing, a true cowboy, love you for making me smile and reminding me how beautiful these magnificent animals are, I salute you, mwah
What a peace of work.. my hats off the everyone that made this short and to the surenuff Cowboy that’s still stickin to what he love God Bless wow great stuff great stuff we need more of this and less bullshit that’s on tv now days amen
my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Randy just a few weeks ago, and I can tell you in earnest, that he is a genuinely nice man and a Heck of a lot of fun to talk to!! Randy if you see this, it was a pleasure to meet you, take care, and Godspeed in all your travels.
I just subscribed to both of your channels . ( you are invited to mine as well ). I look forward to watching any of your content - especially if you can somehow find this young man and get an interview). This guy really inspires me ❤️🤠🔪
Now that Randy guy is a Badass American hard to come by especially these days with all these gamers all these stupid video games. Kids these days dont know what being a real man and women is they grow up still playing video games. I want a shirt made after this Randy guy, I wanna buy one.
Brought a warm feeling to my heart having seen these Santa Ynez Valley cowboys, have a lot of family history with ranching here and grew up on 50 acres in Los Olivos every summer at my grandmas old adobe ranch style house. It really is one of my favorite places on this planet. George Chamberlain was my pops stepdad. If you get the chance, look him up, you may be surprised with what you find. George Chamberlain and Bobby Tanner were the men who created the 20 mule team. Rode through the streets of D.C. and traveled all over. Very proud of the upbringing I had and how lucky I am to have the Valley feel like home.
You know there is a few things in live that you would like to do . One is shake Randy Johnson hand, two is to shake the President hand. It's people like this that make The People who we are Americans. COWBOY UP
Meeting Randy Johnson is a memorable experience. Getting to know him and the memories will never fade. The R Bar D was in the Snake River Canyon, south of the Hoback, WY. The whole ranch had frontage on that beautiful river. Yet after a whole winter and two thirds the way through calving. A bad case of cabin fever makes you want to go to town. Like many ranches anything mechanical was probably not working, but our horses were always working. Most of the time we were snowed in. So we kept our vehicles in a barn about 3-4 miles away. I heard Hank Williams Jr was coming to the Cowboy Bar in Jackson. Seemed unlikely at the top of his game he would come to such a small venue. I had seen Waylon Jennings there the year before, so I was determined to go. The other cowboy, Gary Stewart would cover me while I was gone. I long trotted my horse to my Olds Delta 88 hoping it would start. At the Cowboy Bar there was this rowdy cowboy sitting at a table right in front of Hank. After every song he would stand and holler out a request. He was drinking enough where he got to laying his head on his arms on the table. Next he slowly slid under the table and there he lay. I made it back to my horse and tightened the cinch. Long trotted standing in the stirrups the whole way back. The seat was way too cold! I worked the rest of the night checking the first calf heifers and probably pulled 2 or 3, I don’t recall now. Sometime later the Cattle Company manager, Chuck Hamilton was able to make it in. He brought a bunch of Jackson Hole newspapers for us to read. On the front page of a recent one was a picture of the cowboy under the table. Headline, “A cowboy who had too much fun at the Hank Jr concert... In all fairness, no one ever said ranch work was easy and only 40 hours a week. Six 10-12 hour days easily. Closer to a 100 hours at calving time. Doesn’t take much alcohol along with exhaustion to pass out. Later on, Chuck said he had just hired someone. The guy shows up and it was the guy that was under the table. That began a wild ride and friendship with Randy Johnson...
Great story, I never went to the USA, but curiosity made me research Cawboy Bar, and I recognized this place, I saw videos of bikers who stop at this place, on the way to Sturgis, SD. Thanks for sharing. Greetings, from São Paulo, Brazil.
Paulo Sergio Souza Paulo, Thank you for your comments. Jackson, Wyoming 40 years ago had a strong cowboy population. Not that way now, but still beautiful and magnificent. Nothing can take the memories away of the good times there... Take good care Paulo, enjoy every day to the fullest. Glynn
Randy is a bloke who I would love to sit down with or ride with for weeks on end! I'd learn more about the world and the people on it than I have in my 45 years to date! I'd give anything for the opportunity! God Bless you! ❤️🙏
If you are ever in Goleta, CA (just north of Santa Barbara) go to the Circle Bar B Ranch and take a horseback trail ride with Randy. I just spent 4 wonderful hours on a ride with Randy. Besides the gorgeous vistas and a great horse to ride, Randy and I talked, and laughed the entire ride. Yes, Randy is one of a kind. I hope to ride with him again some time. Thank you Randy
Can't help coming back to watch this. Now in my forties I keep thinking more and more about getting old, this guy helps put my mind at ease of aging. He's definitely an inspiration.
Awesome video! But did you cut together two rodeo runs? When he's bucked off his hat is on his head as he's standing up... But in the end you see him bend down to pick up the hat... This cowboys is an inspiration!
Im 50 and and still ridin broncs . i shoe horses and cowboy for a living. There aint a whole lot of us out there ( for good reason ) lol. Dont know if i can at 65 that ole cowboy is tough as a pine knot. If you aint been on one you dont know what raw power is them horses aint playing around with you. Lol.
May The Good Lord keep you safe in the saddle for as long as you desire and may each moment be a cherished one. For my part, at 52, as much as I love horseback riding (see my post here), having my body jolted that much on purpose just isn't my thing. :-) I've been bucked a few times in some not so safe situations and had a horse rear up and land on my legs, that'll suffice.
Russell Edwards Edwards hell yes brother! I’m 53 and still cowboying... shoe my own and still ride and rope , I hope to be as tuff as this ol’ buckaroo.

Randy is a real cowboy. I have a lot of respect for these old timers. They don’t make em like they used to any more.

That there Man is true Americana and tough as a badger .. God bless You Randy give'em hell
That is poetry in motion and pure living life on your terms....take note youngmen...
Things have changed, no free land government took it all. Thieves. Taken wild horses under false pretense. 🐎🐎
Farms nothing like they should be cause of co-ops dank monopoly.
Monopolies have distorted framing as it should be.
You have just offended these liberals with the words young men. I’m a real California native, transplants must go.
im 62 rode horses most my life. got bucked off at 15 broke my arm bad, stayed two weeks in hospital, never stopped riding. i love this story, keep riding Randy, ride till we die and live free !

Randy Johnson is a legend. When the pandemic is over I will travel over to meet him - be honoured to share a whiskey with him.
Thats one strong man. Proof to never give up. Not too old to do the things you love.
That man has a great attitude on life. He's no quitter !
Carlos Dyer Well Said . ( I just subscribed)❤️🤠🔪
Absolutely awesome, to see an old childhood friend, living his dream. You're an INSPIRATION, Randy!!
I’m 55 ain’t been on a horse in 12 yrs ! I trained some rough horses , stuff that a reputation for hurting people ! Loved , and miss it but damn, I can’t hold a candle to this man ! He is my HERO !
An old cattle rancher I knew used to say "If you ain't tough, you ain't much"... This guy is living those words..
True cowboy spirit, there. Keep it up Randy!
Had the pleasure of meeting Randy , while on a trail ride with my wife, at a ranch on the coast of California, just north of Santa Barbara.

I'm not a cowboy although I grew up watching them on tv.. I've tried to live my life like one. You sir are a true inspiration..
He is great and a hero for ever. Nowadays youngsters are not having the zeal and courage of this rider. Long live the rider. A true cowboy
Randy Johnson just became my new Hero! He's only 5 years younger than me for God sakes and in better shape than I was at 55!
Randy you're a legend! Great riding with you today at Circle B

Randy has some knowledge for younger dudes. Don't give up so easily, buck up and be a man. Rare these days.
Buck up and be a man and respect your horse.
True. But these days, it's knowledge for any any age "dudes"
Dave Von Redlich Real men don’t abuse animals.

Absolutely agree Dave. Most of them today spend too much time looking in the mirror.
