Featured Video: Mountain Riding

This video, created by Canadian phone company Telus, is titled The Last Cowboy. As a knowledgeable equestrian, you might be wondering why a video starring a female rider with an English saddle would get that title, but it doesn’t matter. Michelle Synnot and her horse Maverick shed the constraints of the show ring to spend their time exploring some amazing mountain trails. Take a journey with them and listen to Michelle talk about why preserving and enjoying the wilderness is important to her. We think you’ll agree with a lot of what she has to say.

  • That was great! Not sure why anyone would have a problem being a cowboy in an English saddle though. I've known a lot of cowboys who rode English. Just not in this country.

  • Wow, that was wonderful, thank you Michelle for sharing that with us and for listening to what makes your horse happy, Love it.

  • Ha thanks I produced this movie whilst working at TELUS ad agency. Michelle was a blast to work with ??
