Latigo Dun It



In December I attended the Equus Film and Arts Festival at the Kentucky Horse park in Lexington, KY. My new book, "PINTO!" was a literary award recipient. Besides the lovely medal and trophy that I was given to honor the book, I was also given a Breyer horse statue of "Latigo Dun It."






Latigo Dun It, better known as "Hollywood," is a magnificent Quarter Horse stallion owned and exhibited by Charro artist Tomas Garcilazo.  He has recently been immortalized by Breyer with his own statue.

Tomas' considerable talent as a horseman and Hollywood's beauty made it to the national stage when Hollywood made his debut  at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in 2007. Hollywood was five at the time. Since then, they have performed all around the USA, Canada and Mexico. Their performances include rope tricks, reining maneuvers, and traditional Charro Horsemanship. Their performances are often accompanied by loud music, laser shows, and even fireworks.

A Charro is a Mexican horseman or cowboy. Tomas often appears in traditional dress: an embellished sombrero paired with embroidered pants and jacket, accented with a colorful necktie. Charro's traditionally compete in events similar to American rodeos.

Here is a video of Tomas riding Hollywood.

I think Breyer should make Pinto into a statue, too!
