    Episode 46: Interview with Carlos Macias

    I really enjoyed my visit with Carlos, whose work I've followed a long time. It was great to hear about his different adventures with horses and ranching and where it led him to become the craftsman he is today. We had a few technical sound issues during the call, but I hope you can get the heart of his story.About Carlos Macias:Carlos grew up in California and has lived a fascinating life, including a stint starting colts in Montana, before moving back home and starting Lost Buckaroo and Buckaroo Gear. After a course in Computer Science, Carlos built the first website of its kind - providing high quality cowboy gear to be purchased over the internet. He specializes in custom Chaps, Chinks & Armitas as well as the finest in hand made cowboy & horse gear. https://www.facebook.com/BuckarooGear/https://www.instagram.com/buckaroogear/https://www.lostbuckaroo.com/ About "Life in the Saddle" Podcast: Join horseman Ben Longwell as he shares stories & adventures and interviews extraordinary men and women in the equine and ranching industries to gain insight into horsemanship and life itself.

    Episode 45: Ben Longwell - Purpose Vs Progress

I commonly see these two extremes in my work with horses and their owners. Tune in today to my thoughts on achieving balance in making progress with individual horses. **Want to help support Life In The Saddle Podcast?
