Can I keep Him?

Description


This young man was very excited when he got to see a real Cowboy and his horse. He looked as though he wanted to take this horse home with him – All he needed was permission from Mom! I took this image a couple of years ago in Fort Worth Texas during a BP Shoot. (Recently re-worked the image).
