Cowboy culture didn’t begin on screen — it was built by hand, passed down through work, land, music, and tradition. In Fort Worth and beyond, those stories are still unfolding.
Cowboys of Color highlights three men whose lives reflect the depth, discipline, and lived reality behind the word “cowboy.” Each comes from a different path — music, horsemanship, healing — yet all are connected by history, heritage, and a commitment to carrying something forward.
Together, these stories offer a fuller picture of the cowboy — one built on truth, skill, and lineage.
Not rewritten. Remembered.
Meet these remarkable cowboys through their stories below.
Angel White
The Artist
For Fort Worth musician Angel White, cowboy culture is inherited — shaped by horses, land, and discipline long before stages and spotlights. His music blends blues, country, and soul, carrying stories of struggle, faith, and continuity. White doesn’t revive cowboy culture; he lives inside it.
Luis Quirino
The Teacher
Raised in Zacatecas, Luis Quirino carries the centuries-old tradition of Charrería — Mexico’s national sport and a way of life rooted in horsemanship, self-reliance, and preservation. Through teaching, craftsmanship, and quiet authority, he ensures the Charro tradition remains lived, not lost.
Jarred Howard II
The Healer
On a small ranch in Fort Worth, Jarred Howard II works with horses others have given up on. Through patience and trust, he heals animals — and preserves the often-overlooked legacy of the Black cowboy. His work is calm, intentional, and deeply rooted in history.
