I think you make a very good point. Why no pics? Everyone has a camera these days, especially someone who is active on Reddit.

Yes, thatās way too fast. And Alan Lomax said that a cowboy told him that ādogiesā comes from ādough-guts,ā describing a young calf who had lost its mother and therefore had a distended belly. But the cowboy had probably been pranking Alan Lomax. Or maybe not.
No I think that has merit, dogies has a tie to orphaned calves. Which would have been very puddy looking, as I call it, and defintite misfortune.

Also once again THE DUDE IS NOT FROM TEXAS, yāall. 
Heās a gd Canadian, yāall.
Proving the point: If Canada invaded the U.S., would we know?
(jk, Canadians are wonderful people and an improvement in society. Except for this one.)

True this, BUT ā¦ lookit the western trail on that, especially since he is following state highways. I donāt think Falcon/Shiok could climb the mountains around Raton and Trinidad. Pete definitely could not.
And there wouldnāt be a horse passage that way, anyway. Too many bridges, and the smaller highways may have cattle guards.
Dude has to stick to major, more direct, roadways, to have any hope of making his time schedule. Which isnāt going to happen on horseback no matter what he does. Especially on these two random horses. But he has a loose connection with reality.
Or maybe he did get a re-check of reality and a trailer ride. But until there is evidence, hard proof ā who knows where the hell he is now. Between Lubbock and Amarillo, maybe. Unless his horses quit on him, which I am expecting to happen any day.

Will be interesting to see the next update on Instagram. The terrain is unforgiving where he is and is headed.
Dogies are motherless calves in my neck of the desert.

I thought that as well.
And they really should be removing the netting from the round balesā¦
No real validation but Cyril did post this to TT saying he was in āOKā (the insta caption of this same video says his plans changed and this isnāt actually OK - which is incredibly obvious by the view of the mountains).

He very well could NOT be in Southwestern WY, but he is definitely not in TX or OK and who knows how many days ago that video was. I too am a little skeptical that someone could just be feeding information, but I also wouldnāt put it past him to haul through NM, OK, and CO because everyone said it was going to be hard. He listensā¦ just not in the way we want.
I happen to know a cow hauler that lives 30 mins outside of Opal. He said he and his truckin buddies would be on the lookout, if he actually is in the area.
Maybe he will make it to Seattleā¦ via trailer.

If trailering across the US and riding for a couple hours while disappointing people is going to be the premise of his ground breaking Netflix show, this might be our chance to pitch āPony Momsā or āAmateur Hourā - real life dramas about the insides of the horse show world.

I always thought something horse relate like that would make for great reality TV

From your mouth to Godās ear (as my Mom used to say).
Collapse would be the Best Thing for both horses. At least it might get them out of Asshatās control. 
And to quote another fave source (Bugs Bunny 
):
What a maroon!

There is a story and an insta post.
ETA:
But the comments seem to suggest he is not in Oklahoma. I donāt know the terrain well enough to say if it is or is not.

It sure appears from that clip that someone is accompanying him and doing the filming.

His brother is apparently a significant support crew. But I have no idea who is filming on that one. Obviously someone not on a horse
Is that Pete? Someone who has time to eyeball the previous Pete photos please take a look if you donāt mind. The size, movement, and markings donāt look familiar.
However, a lot of this guyās videos and photos have the sun behind him which makes details very hard to pick out and identify. These staged bits are the ones where we can see things more clearly.
Dirt road, interestingly. Finally found one going in a useful direction, I guess. The staged-ness of this video is interesting.
I believe that is Pete based on still photos of Pete on his Instagram page. Pete wonāt make long if he rides his gaited horse at gaited horse speed for longer than shooting his cheesy videos.

From what I understand, the mama cows stayed home at the ranches in Texas. The weaned dogies (steers) were moved north to be fed up at stockyards near the trains in Colorado, Kansas, etcā¦ and eventually loaded in cattle cars and shipped to slaughter in Chicago. That gave the most profitable returns because the beef went East. This is also why they spooked and stampeded easily. Young steers have no brains. Weāve raised cattle for 20 years and can attest to that. They also pester pregnant cows and annoy the bull. Smart cattlemen way back in those cattle drive days would send a few old mama cows along with the hundreds of steers (combined with many more from many ranches) to keep them all calmer.

Most people think heās in Colorado, based on the āOklahomaā footage. Hey, itās a win for the horses if he trailers them instead of riding them. But what a phony.

Brand inspections and hot and freeze brands are not old fashioned.
Its about preventing theft. Bad people do load up trailers of horses and cows in the dead of night and haul ass to auctions in non-brand states. Its a fast way to make money.
And its a lot easier to see a brand on a fuzzy animal than a microchip.
