Willy has a pretty good handle. He reins well, and doesn't give any problems when asked to leave the other horses. At this point in time, I am rather excited about his potential. As we drove the cattle through a sandy draw, I got down my rope and "heeled" a few calves, even though I didn't pull the slack tight to actually catch anything. Ol' Willy didn't like it at first, but got used to the procedure.
Good to see you still have your good sense and tried the rope in a sandy draw, so it'd be nice an soft if ol' Willy blew up.
The pictures of Kosmo on the mule - his profile, and the way he sits a horse, remind me of early pictures I've seen of his grandpa.
I took a look at ranchers.net tonight for the sole purpose of seeing some of Soapweed's pictures, so thanks for sharing.
