I can't ever remember one getting up, but I can tell you if they did, tied close like she is I can step back on her. If by chance I couldn't get on her I would clear out until she got it under control then get back on and start again.cowboykell said:Without a neck rope, looks like a wreck waiting to happen.

Looks like an effective variation of the famous 'Sun River Tangle'--think you can see it in one of Charlie Russell's works. A neighbor used to ride over the hill on an appaloosa, leading another saddled one. Very self sufficient guy, he was a one man team roping team. And appreciated it--heaps---when i pointed out to him he couldn't catch a healthy one by mistake....

I started her for a close friend and my wife fell in love with her, so we bought her the following spring. I am quite found of her, she has been an exceptional all-around horse and is as dependable as any you will find. The Saddle is a Bill Cook (Sulpur Oklahoma) wade, and the pulling collar is a Colorado saddlery. Nothing fancy just useable. Sorry I forgot my manners FH, Thank You for the compliment on the mare.
The gentleman that owns the cattle wanted me to put out Redmond's Salt. I can't say that I have seen the problem get any worse maybe a touch better. I can honestly say I do not care to doctor this bunch. If I had more time it would not be so bad, the pasture has some big draws with a fair number of trees in them and some of the cows are a little wild. The combination can make for a long day. That particular evening most of the cows were on top and I was able to doctor 3 cows and 3 calves in about an hour and a half or less. So what kind of mineral would you suggest FH?
