Best Remudas
by Jim Jennings

A ranch remuda is defined as “the herd of horses from which those to be used for the day are chosen.” The ranches in this book received the Best Remuda Award because of the quality of their remudas. This book tells the story of those ranches, but it is also about a special tool the ranches use on a daily basis – the horse. 

The stories cover ranch life in many parts of the North American continent, and how each ranch has its own unique way of handling cattle and horses. Some of the methods are strictly traditions that have been handed down for generations. Others are born out of necessity, due to the terrain on which the ranch lies. Some of the men and women who work these ranches are called cowboys, others are called buckaroos. Regardless, they all say they do it because of the horses. 

So take a look and ride with Jim Jennings… across the plains of West Texas, over the Oklahoma prairie and the sand hills of Nebraska , to the high desert country of New Mexico and Arizona , the sagebrush sea of Nevada , California 's mountains and valleys and into the mountainous lake country of British Columbia . Let the wagon boss rope you a horse out of his remuda, one of the “Best Remudas.”
