ROWDY, ROUGH & RANK

In Arizona of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s – the 3V’s Ranch in Northern Arizona was a huge outfit with thousands of acres, cattle and horses, The  3V’s  had a reputation for having very “rank,” spoiled horses that cowboys had to really “break” until all the fight was ridden out of them.  It was also known as the Diamond A’s or the Boquillas.  Now known as the Cholla Livestock LLC has 750,000 acres, stretching 75 miles from Seligman to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Since 2020 this historic Arizona ranch, now is owned by hometown Prescott husband and wife, Rick & Sarah Kieckhefer and remains the largest cattle ranch in Arizona.  Bill wanted to depict a contemporary cowboy who drew one of those horses deciding to buck as in the old timey days. Here we see one of those rowdy and rank horses trying to rid himself of this rough string cowboy as they collide with a prickly, sticky Yucca plant.   Is Bill saying it is the cowboy or the horse who is, Rowdy, Rough & Rank??
