The Vaquero Documentary Series follows the trail of the Vaqueros from Spain to Mexico to Santa Fe, Texas and California, to the far corners of the West as the cowboy tradition evolved. It takes you behind the scenes to some of the West’s most historic ranches, featuring real working cowboys and their families.
These feature-length documentaries provide a vivid picture of the working Cowboys, Buckaroos, Californios, Vaqueros, Paniolos and Punchers who spend their lives horseback, working cattle. Beautifully underscored with the music of Ian Tyson, Dave Stamey, Don Edwards, Juni Fisher and other singers who have spent many hours in the saddle. Altogether, these films paint a penetrating portrait of cowboy life from its Spanish and English roots to present day.
