A Cowboy's Last Wish: Ride His Favorite Horse One Last Time

April 14, 2025

In a touching farewell that’s captured the hearts of millions, a cowboy’s last wish was fulfilled in the most poetic way. Bob Sr., who co-founded Bobby's Ranch in Westford, MA, with his son in the early 1970s, had one final request—to take one last ride on his favorite horse.

His ashes were lovingly placed on the saddle for what he called his "Last Ride." As the horse galloped across the open land, viewers couldn’t help but feel the emotion.

"That’s the coolest final goodbye I’ve ever seen," one person commented. Another added, “The horse ran like he understood the assignment.”

The powerful tribute is a beautiful reminder of the bond between a cowboy and his horse—and the legacy of a life well-lived.
