T-Galop: A Louisiana Horse Story

Overview

Creole cowboys, Cajun jockeys, Cotton Knights and Mardi Gras revelers reveal the long history and blend between Creoles and Cajuns and the horses they love. This equine love affair began more than 250 years ago on the first ranches of South Louisiana. Creoles and Cajuns are some of America's first cowboys. Not only essential to hard ranch work, horses were often the focus of French Louisiana's renowned joie de vivre. T-Galop romps playfully across South Louisiana through professional sports to community ritual bearing witness to a modern horse culture that was born many centuries ago.
