The way I heard, it they started rideing paint's first (they were the only one's they could catch on foot : ) and if you ride an appy any distance you'll be so mad when you get there you'll fight anything lol
Sitting in the tavern the other evening with an old friend who had just been told by his doctor he only had a month to live, I asked him what he was going to do. Said he was going to by an appaloosa horse and a dodge pick up...............figured the next month was going to feel like FOREVER!!
Hey now don't get down on them ol pig eyed, rat tail's, we had a few when I was a kid.....some of the best broke horse's in the country......couple of'em we broke 3 or 4 times
