Which little boy (or girl) hasn’t dreamt of and played at being a cowboy? I sure have. Well, these hard working men and women still exist in Montana, USA and their annual horse drive took place a couple of days ago. The Mantle family, who own Montana Horses, held their last horse drive where they rounded up approximately 300 horses and drove the herd 35 miles from their winter range to the Mantle ranch. The horses will be picked up by leasers to be used as pack and trail horses at dude ranches and national parks.
