Casey Tibbs documentary

Floating Horses: The Life of Casey Tibbs documentary film has become one of the most anticipated rodeo movies in recent years and is due for public release in early 2016. Rare rodeo footage, classic movie scenes, and famous photographs from the 1950s will adorn the screen as the finest historians of Casey Tibbs, professional rodeo, and Western film express their opinions on “America’s most beloved cowboy”. Deb Copenhaver, Billy Etbauer, Charlie Daniels, Steve Ford, Baxter Black, Red Steagall, Jim Korkow, Gail Woerner, Dean Smith, Edd Hayes, Mike Warner, Alex Cord, Billie Sutton, Wyatt McCrea, Jamie Nudie, and Cleo Harrington are a handful of the 31 interviews featured in the film.

Known as the “Babe Ruth of rodeo,” Casey’s flamboyant lifestyle included plush, purple Cadillacs and flashy cowboy attire. Akin to riding a wild bronc in competition, Casey’s unpredictable life had its grand victories and cheerless crashes. Tighten your cinch and get ready to “Let’er Buck!”
