From our hilltop, the end of a great day with family...one of our guests had never even seen a horse up close before, his ride down the arroyo in the dark was pretty amusing ...I hope everyone's was as nice.

I know a guy who glued that neoprene mouse pad type stuff to his saddle, it's comfortable and real grippy...
...Unfortunately for my daughter's "friend", our horses are either work animals or barrell racers, and are really sensitive to the emotions and body signals the rider sends. This kid was scared spitless and the horse knew it...he was dying to sidestep the poor guy off into the trail. My daughter finally had to lead him to keep him in line. She finally brings one home and he has to help slaughter a kid goat and ride his first horse all in 24 hours!...I guess it's better he knows what he's in for

LOL Profe! A little trial by fire for the boyfriend? You have a bit of a mean streak in you

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

You think?
Maybe that's why it's taken her so long to bring one home.

Prof. - When I was about 14 and hitchhiking around I met a brother and sister who were ranch kids near Pagosa Springs CO and was invited to ride out overnight with them. They told me straight faced to bring a gun because bear sometimes bothered the horses. I didn't suspect they were just trying to scare the snot out of the city kid. So the next morning when I showed up with usable trail gear and a old single action Colt .44 strapped on they were kinda surprised.
...I hope everyone's was as nice.
