Robbie Robertson, Perry Jacobson and BJ Smith are horsemen who collectively represent
almost a century of service to the Queen.
These cowboys of the Queen all have a common goal, to keep the history and stories of
the true west alive.
They will keep you in stitches, make you laugh until you cry & they can even get serious
sometimes. A great Christmas gift for the person who has everything.
