National Day of the Cowboy
Esteemed recipients of the 2011 Cowboy Keeper Awards announced
the horses and wagons for Canada’s TV show “Murdoch Mysteries.” Tom owns over 50 wagons and carriages he’s preserved. He was one of the original Canadian stuntmen when the film industry came to Canada in the 1950s, and has doubled many actors. Recently nominat- ed “Entrepreneur of the Year” for the Niagara region, people there are fascinated by his one-of-a-kind lifestyle. Said to personify the “Code of the West” tenets, Tom Bishop Sr. is characterized as tough but fair, firm but quiet, and well respected by all. A modern day cow- boy, he represents the second generation of a Canadian family devoted to maintaining the tradition of Wild West shows.

Tom Bishop Sr.
Tom Bishop Sr’s father arrived in Canada a Scot- tish orphan filled with dreams of the frontier, and as a city boy with no skills, he nearly starved homesteading Canadian winters in a sod dugout hut. When he saw Buf- falo Bill’s Wild West Show, he knew it was what he wanted to do, so he began to put on Wild West shows at local fairs. Tom Bishop Sr. has continued his father’s traditions and has taken his own Wild West shows to the next level, one of many ways he preserves pioneer her- itage in Canada.
