Oh! The Pain of It All!

I don't often have moods - I tend to Face Life Head on but yesterday Taught an Old Age Cowboy, me, a lesson I was not ready for.

When I got home Matt a (Greenie) was here and wanted me to go with him to load a GENTLE (HA) mare someone had given him. (His First Horse)

He said he had all the ropes and that she was an easy loader - -
Something told me to take my car. (Like no Reg on his truck) So I Did!

She is a Good Looking 15 yeard old, 1/4 horse looking 1,100 # dark Palmeto, mare (For Free??)
I knew Something had to be wrong, but what - well I was to find out SOON!

Matt started to walk the mare in the trailer and she backed out (big suprise)

Well the short story is - Two cheep ropes - one a lead - one long - 3 Greehorns (Him and two gals that lived there) - 1 old man (has been) - 1 horse that knows ALL the TRICKS - is tearing up a little old 2 horse trailer - No Fences to work with but a (1X4 - 4' high - boards on the wrong side)

After 4.5 hours the stories started to come out - Seems every body in the world has tried to load this mare - even with dogs - - That is why she's FREE!

In the end Matt ran behind me with the lead rope in his hands and and this Tornado trys to get in my pocket - I ended up between her front legs - hanging on her neck - as she was STRIKING at Matt

"Let go of your dam lead rope" I yelled!

When he did she steppted on it and broke it - hit the end of the long rope tied through the halter- around her neck - spun around and broke it.

It was time for one OLD Lonesome Cowboy to go home!

I told Matt to get my big stock trailer, Not that piece of junk, (2) or (3) of my Power River Pannels and I'd find some Help that knew something - not one Old Man with no tools!

I spent last night Lick-N my B-a-l-l-s and other sore spots.
Today I feel more like myself - Writing this to someone Helps!
