Soapweed, your wife is outclassing you with her pretty hat!!!

I bet those folks had more fun than they could stand. Good that you took time to ride along with 'em.

Makes me think about something an old horsetrader put in his sale book one time. He and his family were going to Australia and he was selling all the horses before he left. That sale book was a real treasure. I wish I still had mine. Anyhow, in the front he said "We have horses for everyone. We have tall horses for tall people, we have short horses for short people; we have fast horses and we have slow horses.. Heck, we have horses that don't like to be rode for people who don't like to ride."
:wink: :lol:

FH: Funny one! :lol:

Looks like you had a really pleasant day in Soapweed Land.
(Are you riding like George Washington, Soapweed in that later picture- with your toes down?? :shock: Maybe I'm not seeing right.)

nr, in this case, I don't think you are seeing right. Soapweed boots have a riding heel (underslung) and his foot is in the stirrup as far as they can go. Therefore his heel is most likely down or at the least, his feet are level, which is the style of many ranchers when they ride long distances.

I'm the one who started the George Washington 'toes down' thing, so thought I'd respond to your question. :wink:

There are several soapweed pods between the camera and my boot. It just makes it look like the toe is down.

The gray horse must not be holding the roached mane against ya, Soapweed. It looks like you're getting along with him quite well.

I'm still shaking my head thinking of you buying 3 horses at a horse sale and they all turned out good. I still think that is a record!

Two or three guys were almost drooling over the grey horse. He behaved completely like a gentleman all throughout the ride. I fully expect that several people, after seeing my nicely roached horse's mane, will go right home and do that to their horses, too. Joke, ha ha, probably not. :wink:

I don't know about that. Sometimes it's "monkey see, monkey do"... :wink:
