I do everything just in english tack. practice barrels; herd cows; trail ride; give lessons; it's more comfortable for me and my mare (but I do love to ride bareback)

As far as English or Western, I'd have to rely on my wise Uncle Doug's words: "The question isn't whether you can ride English or Western, the question is can you ride?" I grew up riding in English saddles (hunter/jumper) and confess that I don't know my way around all that Western tack.

You left out Doctor, cut and rope.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:Do English riders sit around the campfire and drink tea?
That's one of the nice things about a lap dog. If it is dead in the morning you just throw it in the crock pot and when you get home from work, you got a hot meal.dun":12v24j5h said:Caustic Burno":12v24j5h said:Dog much cheaper than any horse.
When they get too old to work there isn;t near as much meat though
dun
he;s broke out with attitude. but the S.O.B. will put you on a cow pronto. when you get on him feels like all muscle under you and ready too explode. you are constantly aware of the saddle horns location ...... CAUSTIC he is three bars top and bottom with some pacific bailey in the mix.. FLABOY starvin marvin is coming along fine gonna try and get on him this weekend it suppose to be nice.flaboy-":y9f4db5k said:Do English riders sit around the campfire and drink tea? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Alacowman, is that the horse of yours that has a bit of an attitude when you first get on him? How's that other flea bitten nag of yours doing? He coming around?

I do agree with you D.R. I was just sort of wondering what his neighbors think when they see that English rig. Wonder where he ties a slicker, dead hog, or dead deer not to mention a rope. :lol:
Just messin with ya gabby.
SmartSlider - I like the filly. Looks MUCH more like a cow horse to me. :lol:
I don't get no lip at all when I show up on Moose, English gear or not. He just sort of towers over everything in sight. Like Conway sang, "Don't call him a cowboy till you see him ride."
pick horses like women big butt and pretty head ;-)skidboots":16zjmdz1 said:Alacowman,
Dang! You couldn't find one with a BIG HIP ???
I guess getting old means I'll never own the horse I always dreamed of .
Closest I got is my old 25 yr Sugar Bars mare, back when she was 12. She was already trained to do everything you can do on a ranch when I got her. But she never looked as good as your horse. I like red horses, and I love three bars genetics, so you can see why I'm impressed with your mount. Hope you get lots of years out of him.
