Out of the Gate

My husband used to be a bull rider and it has always mystified me as to the reasons why these brave western cowboys would want to go out and get on these massive beasts. But what a ride it must be! Honestly, I am terrified of bulls. I’ve had a few too many close calls while out driving cattle upon my horse, on our 4,000-acre summer western range lease, and once in awhile my horse and I would unknowingly find ourselves in the middle of two massive, fighting bulls. When these large beasts turn and run, it doesn’t matter who happens to be in the way, they just simply run blind, and they’re ‘gone!’ It’s the same here in this original western art painting, “Out of the Gate” there is all that intensive waiting for the gate to open while the cowboy gets his riggen’ settled and in place on the bull. When that cowboy nods his head, sets his spurs and the gate instantly opens, it really doesn’t matter who happens to be in the way for the only goal the bull has is to get rid of the cowboy, in any way imaginable and at any cost. In those few 8 seconds of intense athleticism, the bull and rider become one and all-else fades away. It is extreme and full of unimaginable power, which only a few will ever experience. But isn’t that the inner secret?

This beautiful original piece of western art, “Out of the Gate” has just been sold to a private collector of western art, here in Canada. Beautiful reproduction art prints are available.
