With the chickens clucking, he knows it’s time to hit the ground running and get to work.Howard is the owner of 2 R Equine, an equestrian center in“I can come out here and shovel poop for eight hours and be perfect,” he said with a chuckle. He started riding 10 years ago and fell in love with it. For the last two years, he’s taught everything from riding lessons to rehabbing horses through his center.
In every class he teaches, in every encounter he has with people, he leaves them with a history lesson Howard says not many people are aware exists: That is how prevalentThe Black cowboy is a key part of American history and Texas history. There are many pioneers like Bill Pickett and Bass Reeves, to name a few. Howard said many black cowboys worked as bronco busters, ropers, and trail cooks.
