#22612 Weekend of March 21st, 2026

Sometimes a good working cow dog can be a cowboy's next best friend after his horse and this week you'll hear some fascinating insight into the working of a dogs mind, and how it compares to the way horses respond. The rangeland news has more about the backlash over the CFIA's proposed new livestock moving rules, The horse training file, tells you when it's time to move a young horse out of his comfort zone. As always a great list of pure western music, and a fine piece of cowboy poetry.

Here's this week's song and poem list:

1. Springtime (CanCon) Ian Tyson
2. A Hundred and Sixty Acres Sons of the Pioneers
3. Cowboy Kind Jessica Camilia O'Neil
4. My Alberta Roots Run Deep (CanCon) Ben Crane
5. Rum and Rodeo Wylie & The Wild West
6. S Lazy H (CanCon) Corb Lund
7. POEM: Rules For Gunsels Duane Nelson
