Many porn studios are trotting out vintage TV clips and vintage movie-projector special effects these days. Anyone remember Tom Mix or Hopalong Cassidy? In Riding Hard, Falcon combines old cowboy heroes with sepia-tone colors to tell the story of a man and a horse.
    Scott Swann is a rancher with high regard for "Fancy," though it takes a while before you learn if that's his horse or his wife. The cowboys who work for him refer to fancy as a "nag," but that doesn't clear up the matter.
    Roman Heart and Carter Longway are two of those cowboys. They're specifically given the task of looking out for Fancy while the boss is away, but an empty barn offers too many temptations for play. Longway's dick is deeply lodged in Heart's throat when man-in-black Ken Browning happens along, asking nicely, "mind if I join?" Of course they don't mind.
    The surprise here is that Roman is the top. We saw what a good bottom Browning was in Hot House's Private Lowlife, and his "career change" from cowboy to horse thief hasn't changed that. But Roman fucks them all, and when they make a manwich, it's Longway in the middle and Roman on top. (He doesn't squeal when he's a top; bummer!)
    So I gave away the next plot development. Browning steals the wife and the horse. The wife screams, but her distress is not sufficient to distract ranch hands Dean Monroe and Manuel Torres from their bathing ritual. At a lake overflowing with flowers and lush vegetation, they fill a galvanized bucket and give each other sponge baths. Dean and Manuel have cream-colored and caramel-colored cowboy boots to match their skin.
    Once the ablutions are under way, Dean decides that Manuel's tongue would feel better in his ass than a sponge, and Manuel obliges. They have a rousing suck-and-fuck while the bandit gets away (stopping to take their clothes). If you like rimming and ass play, this scene has your name on it. While Manuel drives his tongue deep into Dean's ass, they both finger it and suck the juices off.
    Swann catches the horse thief and retrieves his property, tying Browning to a tree for Sheriff Matthew Rush to deal with. Rush interrogates the suspect and demands to have his ashes hauled before taking him to jail. Part of Browning's punishment is a spanking.
    We finally learn that Fancy is the horse, not the wife, and that Swann bought her as a birthday present for his secret boyfriend, Mason Wyler. When Scott arrives to deliver the present, Wyler is bathing in a huge outdoor metal tub, but the soap suds are no obstacle to Swann giving him a blow job anyway.
    Wyler is a living pillar of marble, all pale and hard, and he always gives a great performance. He returns the blow job while still in the tub, then they dump the water and turn the tub over to use a platform for sex. Scott gives Mason a tongue bath that elicits giggles, but there's no giggling during the ensuing sixty-nine, rimming and fucking. In this scene, as in all the others, the cowpokes eat their loads.
    Riding Hard is fun from start to finish, directed by Chris Steele with a light touch that lets the humor complement the sex.
    The DVD has scene selection with fetish menus, Web link, behind-the-scenes photos, "making of" featurette, alternative titles, daguerreotype gallery, sex-only viewing option and two pre-condom bonus scenes never released on DVD before.
