Dolly was my favorite of our horses. She was a paint and my pal that I rode all over the adjacent farmlands and river bottom with and without a saddle.
I took Zig for what I thought was going to be a half hour hike earlier. We got lost a bit in the woods and it wound up being a 2 hour cast iron hike. He met some other dogs on the trail. Most were friendly but one attacked him before the owner pulled the dog back. I was proud of him. He maneuvered out of harms way pretty well and didn’t bite back. He then immediately started playing with the other dogs in the pack. He doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in his body.View attachment 18998882 View attachment 18998884
Eat,walk,sleep grow more Bubba.
He was up late being rowdy and is all tuckered out this morning I may be able to get something done..........maybe.
Most of the horses around our place were wild. My grandaddy would get them somewhere all skinny and bones showing. They were wild not broke. He would fatten them up then my daddy would break them so you could put a saddle on them and ride them, then I would ride them till they were calm enough for any rider, then they were sold. I rode a lot of those crazy horses and could handle them pretty good back then. I haven’t been on a horse In 40-50 years I think.
That's fantastic cept for the lost part even though that's always exciting in itself.
I rode some pretty wild horses and thought I was a good horseman, but the last horse I was on was around twenty years ago, after the owner asked me to ride her so that she was used to being ridden. She went wild the minute I swung into the saddle, and I bailed off the second time around the coral bucking and trying to drag me off against the fence.
keep your eyes on the cat
i stayed right near there when i was in london,the st. ermine hotel,pretty swanky spot...for some reason they had a substantial AAA discount...like a 100 bucks a night which was a steal in london...not so much on my bar tab which was over 700 dollars for a night of single malt scotchWell - let the mood swing back towards the positive - I say - accentuate the positive even eh? -
So I decided to go for a slow walk along the Thames - and leave the confines of St Thomas's hospital - feeling a tad claustrophobic - medically speaking - so got changed into my walking attire - and headed for the main door - and the South Bank of the Thames area - with lots going on in wonderful weather - not too hot and not too cold - comfortable in a light jacket and t-shirt - passed by The London Eye - this great big wheel with viewing gondolas on it - and passed by 3 bridges - ending up around The South Bank Centre - watching youngsters skate in a skate park and others playing the bongo drumsand assorted other percussive instruments - called the Mrs on Wassap - and chatted with her while I was down by the river as Uberboats went by - on the way back stopped for a truffle burger at some out door restaurant - which was delicious -
- then headed back to Babylon -
There are wild horses in the area where I live. I enjoy seeing them roaming the hillsides and fields, my wife does the driving and I do the gazing. They put up highway signs warning people to watch for them.
Oww - unc - didn't know that you were partial to a wee dram or two - was a time when I had quite the urge for single malts - must have been a coupla decades or so back now - and Talisker was one I particularly liked - and Laphroig too (if my memory serves me right) -
Oh yeah, I remember getting rubbed up against the fence or under a tree trying anything to knock me off. Sometimes it worked but I always got back on.
You r funny. Was I wearing a cute hat and rolling one handed like in the westerns?T

So it's a no to the rodeo, too bad.
I was seeing you in my mind standing on the back of a galloping horse rolling a joint. The crowd roaring with applause.
The only horse I ever rode was Chigger. I was so young, all I remember was that he was a dirty white color, and he only walked with me on him -- never ran. We did not have a saddle.
six gun in the other hand!You r funny. Was I wearing a cute hat and rolling one handed like in the westerns?
I always enjoyed creative cursing.
Ahhh... Now we are getting somewhere. I cannot touch alcohol now. But my absolute fave of any kind at all was Glenfidditch 18. Cost me @ $150 a bottle.
