Sounds like you know that from experience!!! [sm=jawdrop.gif] ...... okay, no spurs... how about a saddle, some motor oil, and a red bull !! lol lol

 

A woman never revels her secrets......gotta be a little mysterious! And the saddle is not always a necessity!

 

true... a woman never tells....I always liked show and tell tho' !! or scratch and sniff.... or tug of war......lol lol.. Oh well, I always end up that well known creek anyway!! at least I have a paddle...... lol

Geez....you have a way of making people laugh!!

but I'll let you in on a secret........spurs hurt and I know cause, I jabbed myself in the side of the leg with one by accident when I was getting off a horse (I'm the biggest clutz!)

 

Laughter is the cure all medicine.....

Ya, spurs hurt..... we were training a cutting horse one day, and I was elected to be the cow!! Whoopee... ya, it hurts!! ..... we always learn the hard way..

 

The hard way is the best way to learn, cause you'll never, ever forget!! How come you were training a cutting horse?

 

I worked on a ranch through high school.. it beat working at McDonalds ya know... anyway we had a cutting horse we sent to TX to lean out.. when we got her back we needed to fine tune her.. so I was the cow she would cut... We had 2 horses we trained for western pleasure competition, and one barrell racer... It was fun... kinda like riding a bike, it's addictive..

 

Cool! I rode horses for ten years, still head out on occasion. Never rode western though. I rode english did the jumping and all that stuff. Barrell racing would be a blast! I'd love to try it sometime. My sister has a horse that she is training for western pleasure. Real nice looking horse too! One thing that I found.....riding horses actually helped with learning how to ride a bike!

 

I never thought about it, but probably would help with riding a bike... of all the things, cutting horses was by far the funnest!! Barrell was cool, but over too fast... when you have a good cutting horse, jumping back and forth, and leaning down cornering a cow, it's a blast.. way funner than any roller coaster!! I never did jumping, that looks like a pretty technical event tho' ....

 

Nah, not all that technical. Just gotta remember to keep your heels down, cause if the horse suddenly decides there's no way he's jumping the fence, your gonna go right over, if you don't have your heels down. Trust me on that one, I know. I almost went over the fence without the horse!

Actually a horse that I used to ride was used for cattle penning. The reason the owner decided to do that with the horse was because the horse was terrified of cows. I guess she got to be pretty good at it.
