Some people can fall face first into a cow patty and still hop up smelling like a rose....one of my old friends just received a gift from Chipper Jones, who owns a game ranch out in San Antonio. They had a couple "horses" that they weren't using anymore.. one of 'em just happened to be a show finished Tanquery Gin stud(if you're a cutting horse person you'll know what I'm talking about
) Well, him and a couple of other well bred fillies showed up at his house today, and guess who got called up to "test drive"
??
Snorty, overbred, "light in the front end", flinchy(big time),.... the A-typical mis-handled stud. Yet another stud that'd been jerked on to the point of being goofy. As soon as I went to handle him, he was ready for the fight. So, he got a fight... but this time, it ended with him being cool in the end. Had to do a little work on his front legs
but he finally got the picture and came back to gentleman mode.
After all that, the cold backed bugger evened out nice. Little slight in build, but he's sure-e-nuff handy. Looks like I've been nominated to "proof" this horse on woods cattle
...doubt this dude has ever seen a cow outside the arena.... I have the distinct feeling I'll be put on my head at least a couple times with this one
... One of those horses you better have your seat belt on when you give him leg
What does my expression tell you about my initial opinion of the stud?
(yes I've got my hand wrapped in a night latch
)
What we're doing when we ain't in "serious hog dogger mode"
One of those moments...
One of those moments with your daughter...
