Love traveled to Dodge City, Kansas, where he found work as a cowboy with cattle drivers from the Duval Ranch (located on the Palo Duro River in the Texas Panhandle). He used the money to leave town, and at the age of 16, headed to the Western United States. After some time of working extra odd jobs in the area, he won a horse in a raffle on two occasions, which he then sold back to the owner for $50 each time. At about this time, he was noted as having a gift for breaking horses. Afterward, Nat took a second job working on a local farm to help make ends meet. When slavery ended, Love's parents stayed on the Love plantation as sharecroppers, attempting to raise tobacco and corn on about 20 acres, but Sampson died shortly after the second crop was planted.

Love had two siblings: an older sister, Sally, and an older brother, Jordan. His father was a slave foreman who worked in the plantation's fields, and his mother the manager of its kitchen. Nat Love, (pronounced "Nate") was born into slavery on the plantation of Robert Love in Davidson County, Tennessee on June 14, 1854.
