Wilson Capron

Wilson Capron grew up on ranches in West Texas and has studied horsemanship and roping since his youth. In 1996, Wilson began apprenticing for legendary bit and spur maker Greg Darnall. Wilson lived with the Darnall family while attending Texas A&M University-Commerce, where he earned an Ag-Business degree.

As Wilson developed his engraving talent, he found guidance in artistic principles from his father, cowboy painter Mike Capron. In 1999, Wilson launched his own business.

His designs are a contemporary interpretation of Texas- and California-style bits and spurs. Wilson has been a member of the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association since 2004. 

Wilson lives in Christoval, Texas.
