Horse Dreams in BBQ Country is a funny and bittersweet portrayal of the long-time love between two gay ranchers in the patriotic, lottery-crazy land of South Texas. Though they struggle to make ends meet, Mario Borjas-Tejano to the core-and David Ewell-a Texas transplant from the East- have somehow managed to fashion a rural life that has revolved around horses and around each other for 14 years.
