COVER STORY
changed the gold standard of style and grace; redefined
the classic event to put class at the forefront both in and
out of the arena.
Their rigs aren’t fancy – Dodge duallys of various ages
with cab over campers built more to last than for luxury or
looks. It’s four to a truck as a standard rule and making as
many rodeos as possible, sometime skidding in sideways
on three wheels and jumping back in the rig before the
sweat is dry from the ride. You’ll never hear any one of the
family complain. It’s a blessed, hard life and one they are
passionately in love with.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Last Cowboys is a beautifully written book
about the Wright family by Pulitzer Prize winning author John
Branch. RF speaks with Branch in our next edition about his
experience on the road and on the ranch with the Wright’s.
