BRAVO, Jerry.
As I said, I like your style.
Years ago we had a Horse Finding business where we put buyers and sellers together. Oh, yeah, we did some horse trading too...but we had a good reputation and we worked with a man from St. Ignatius that had an uncanny way of knowing what horse fit what person. We were selling
horses sight unseen into Wyoming and didn't get any back. It was pretty heady stuff. Anyway, our partner brought a horse down to our country in W. Montana for some folks that were more or less farmers that weren't horse savvy, so Bob sent him a very gentle and nice horse.
In a little while the fellow called because he wasn't getting along with the horse. Mr. FH asked him what the problem was and the reply was that he jumped the irrigation ditches too high. Mr. FH said, "That's all? Nothing else?" The guy said no, but he wanted Bob, our partner to take the horse home and ride him some more. So we called Bob and he agreed, althought we all thought this was an unusual request. So we got the horse to Bob. It wasn't but a day or two that Bob called the buyer of the horse and told him, "Who has been riding this horse? Whoever it is, they need to be riding a tractor, not a horse." They had hit the horse over the head and a few more things that showed up when Bob started riding him.
Sometimes it isn't the horse that causes the problem, IT"S THE RIDER!!!
Don't know why I posted this here.
Just cuz I thought of it I guess...
or it has to do with "raise no dust".
