Bar Lazy W

Al & Hurricane

"And when someone takes title to a critter, tends its hoofs and curries it, worms it, feeds it through the winters, then rides it across the highway and out beyond the tract homes, he can call himself a cowboy without embarrassment, secure in the knowledge that the whole mythic experience doesn't have nearly as much to do with cattle as with the straddling a good horse and moving it on."

Al & Madeleine live in Ottawa, where they care for and ride their fine Quarter Horse Annie & American Paint Hurricane. Even in Eastern Ontario people can be found who value the cowboy lifestyle, its values & ethos, its history & legends. These form part of the vision of the Bar Lazy W.
