Celebrating Cowboy Arts
What is the TCAA?
The American Cowboy is beloved around the world. As an icon, they have endured for over a century because of what cowboy culture represents: timeless values, a simpler way of life, connection to the land and authenticity. Members of the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association (TCAA) are real cowboys. They embody the best of cowboy traditions and are dedicated to preserving and promoting the skills of saddlemaking, bit and spur making, silversmithing and rawhide braiding.
The TCAA’s mission is to preserve and promote their disciplines and the role of these traditional crafts in the cowboy culture of the West through education and exhibition.

The California Rose: A special TCAA documentary
To commemorate the 25th Annual Traditional Cowboy Arts Association Exhibition & Sale, the TCAA’s 13 active members, plus one emeritus member, collaborated on the design and build of a traditional Visalia-style saddle and outfit, including a braided rawhide riata, quirt and hobbles. They called the saddle “The California Rose.”
This documentary, created by filmmaker Craig Rullman, is the story of the creation of “The California Rose.”
