A man I know had a real good workin grey mare that he paid at least 3500.00 for trained and papered. The mare was cross-tied wrong in a barn by a rookie horseshoer, and ended up losing an eye. The man that owned her has many good horses and sold the mare to me for 700.00. I was thinking I would breed her as she is well bred. A pretty big good paying day work job was offered to me and my gelding went lame. I couldnt afford to turn down the work so I drag this one eyed mare out and saddle her up and go. The mare had not been ridden in six months, and I had never ridden her or seen her ridden, just heard about how good she was. I get on her cold-backed from the trailer and go find 37 registered cows that were in a cornfield 11 miles from home and take them home. Not a burp or hesitation out of this mare, and I think she may just be the best damn cow horse I have owned in my life, never expected this from a one eyed horse. I guess good things come in unexpected packages. sorry so long..tworopes
