I come from farming stock (my grandparents both owned farms, and I spent time on one of them as a kid), plus I've taken horse-riding lessons and know enough about tack, how to put them on the horse, how to pick hooves, how to shovel manure, and so on to get by.

I wish I could write a Western myself someday, but I don't know if I'd ever be able to get the atmosphere right. Honestly, I've never lived on a farm or even really visited one . . . and I'm really pretty bad at imagining/writing interpersonal conflict. I don't think I could ever conjure up a proper gunfight.
