[QUOTE="HAY MAKER, post: 789175, member: 723"] Just another gimic ? or a worth while ? Reason I ask is..........This morning I had some fence to ride and gaps to check,horses around here have'nt been rode much because I was feelin a lil pekid earlier this year,anyway I am partial to the grey horse i have so always ride your best horse as the ole sayin goes but,horses need rode and the little sorrel i have had'nt been rode in a long while and I reckoned it was time. So bout day break me and the little sorrel are makin good time it's like the little horse was rode daily no problems at all yet. I cut through a plowed field and the sorrel stumbled a couple times seemed to get his balance and we broke into a trot,bout that time he stumbled forward he musta went 20 tryin to regain his balance when his nose started plowin loose ground,happened pretty fast but the little horse fell on his left side and had my leg under him he gained his feet pretty damn fast as a matter of fact to fast because if I would have been thinkin when he stood upright I would have been in the saddle. I guess it happened to fast or maybe Im gettin old,probably a little of both anyway he got up damn fast and my left foot is hung in the stirrup,Im thinkin bad things are fixin to happen fast,but that little sorrel just stood there never spooked and i finnally got my boot loose. I believe it was my fault for not realizin the little horse needed time to adjust to a rider again and I made it worse when i cut across the plowed field. Anyway I got very lucky this morning,after i gained some age I swore i would never sit a saddle without a nitelatch,never bury my boot to the heel in a stirrup which i did'nt this morning,I guess the horse wallowin on it moved it to the heel. Anyway..........got me wonderin bout the so called breakaways,always thought they were for green horns,change your mind mighty fast when your boot is hung and you are flat on your back. To be honest this is the 2nd time I been hung up both times I was lucky,what's that ole sayin bout 3 ? good luck [/QUOTE]
