Pa and Granny’s first heroes were cowboys. In their childhoods, cowboys were the super heroes and their horses were their trusted sidekicks. Roy Rogers and Trigger, Dale Evans and Buttermilk, and Gene Autry and Champion were famous cinema cowboys and horses. Children of their era wanted to ride, shoot and dress just like their favorite western stars. While the role models for children today have greatly expanded and the cowboy’s influence has diminished, their appeal has not become obsolete, and children still enjoy pony rides. The Grands were excited about again sharing this equine pleasure with the twins at this year’s International Bar-B-Q Festival. Neither boy was timid about climbing on and taking a ride, which delighted their grandparents.
