Range Riders have been included with the Singing Cowboy Groups http://www.b-westerns.com/singing3.htm One of their members, Roland Fraser, 87, has been involved with this group since the 1940s. The Range Riders introduced a blend of western harmonies coupled with country styles to form a signature sound known as "cowboy music".

“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“Good swimmers drown and good riders get thrown.”
