Scott’s Piece Description
Rifle out and at the ready!
You might say it’s his “Welcome mat” to the group of men approaching on horseback. It’s amazing how a loaded rifle keeps things honest. This may be trouble – it may be nothing, but, he hasn’t taken three herds up North being stupid and unawares. T’wouldn’t be new to bury those that thought they could take his herd.
He’s been stampeded, fought Injun’s, weathered freak snow storms and seen the blue lightning on the backs of steers in a storm. He knows the taste on the inside of a man that comes when trouble ain’t asked for. He can’t remember when it happened…he just feels right at home when he’s up against it.
He rides for the brand – his loyalty is unquestioned. His men love him – for he plays with a square deck.
With him….”Ya know where ya stand”.

Curator Review
Trail Boss captures a moment suspended between caution and command. The rider sits tall, eyes forward, rifle steady — not drawn in fear, but in readiness. His horse stands firm beneath him, ears angled, alert but composed. This is a man who’s been tested, and whose authority comes not from noise, but from earned respect.
Every detail in this sculpture contributes to its quiet power: the worn gear, the straight back, the slack reins. It’s not action that defines him, but restraint — the ability to size up a situation before it turns.
There’s narrative tension here, but also a visual stillness. The rider’s pose creates a vertical axis of control, grounding the sculpture while his gaze draws the viewer outward, beyond the scene.
In Trail Boss, the West isn’t romanticized — it’s earned. Leadership, loyalty, and grit are all forged in the dust and silence of hard miles, and this piece honors them without a word.
