The new documentary "T-Galop: a Louisiana Horse Story" will be shown Tuesday, July 31, at 7 p.m. at the Vernon Parish Library. "T-Galop" takes the audience deep into the horse play and work of French Louisiana, says film consultant Nick Spitzer. Cajun and Creole cowboy and cattle traditions are revealed from colonial times to present day swimming herds, bush tracks, zydeco cowboys, mounted Mardi Gras revelers, knightly 'tournois,' workaday ranchers and famed jockeys. It’s all there. Indeed, in "T-Galop," Creole cowboys, Cajun jockeys, Cotton Knights and Mardi Gras revelers reveal the long history and blend between Creoles and Cajuns and the horses they love. "This equine love affair began more than 250 years ago on the first ranches of South Louisiana where Creoles became some of America’s first cowboys," explains Conni Castille, the film’s writer and director. Not only essential to hard ranch work, horses were often the focus of French
 Louisiana’s renowned joie de vivre. "The Creole and Cajun idea of `passing a good time of course made its way into their horse culture, like the old bush track races that birthed so many great jockeys, or the Mardi Gras horseback riders, or the leisurely Creole trail rides." "T-Galop" romps playfully across South Louisiana through professional sports to community rituals bearing witness to a modern horse culture that was born many centuries ago. Castille also made "I Always Do My Collars First" (2007), "Raised on Rice and Gravy" (2009), and "King Crawfish" (2010).
"T-Galop" was supported in part by grants from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, Louisiana Entertainment, Louisiana Economic Development Association, and the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism.
Popcorn and light refreshments will be served. For more information, please call the Vernon Parish Library at 337-239-2027.
