Photographers love a challenge and there’s nothing more exciting than trying to capture motion on film. In this arena, there’s hardly a venue more exhilarating and powerful than cowboys running horses through the Western wilderness. In Colorado, there are two kinds of “Cowboy Action Shooting.” The first involves guns; the second is a kinder, gentler form of shooting that simply places the photographer in front of the rustling cowboys.
