Todd’s family connection with Alberta began in 1889 when his grandfather helped open one of the first general stores in Canmore. Immersing himself in the western lifestyle, Todd rode bulls with the Foothills Cowboy Association along the Cowboy Trail. After deciding that ‘he breaks and no longer bounces’, he turned his attention to horses.
He started writing poetry to entertain guests while working as a wrangler for Holiday on Horseback in Banff and at Rafter 6 Ranch in Kananaskis. In addition to writing, Todd spends the off season tooling leather and building western style Vaquero saddles. His classes are incredibly immersive as they weave this traditional craft with his humour and storytelling.
