[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 31638, member: 391"] Just wanted to say thanks- The way things worked out we have taken the last two weeks off moving cattle(didn't have to put any up to eat- lots of grass!!!).Which I wouldn't have done if you hadn't pointed out what you did. I like putting them up to get them settled down in case I have to put them up. So we have just been riding thru and not picking up and moving anything. Its been an amazing spell- two weeks and haven't had to pull a single sick calf. I have also gone back to some advanced training riding- Guess I'm gonna have a dressage horse too(thats my horse background). Think we could do a passable T3! I swore when I got him that I wasn't gonna do anymore training than just enough to put the calves up. Hes gotten better- still alittle high headed at times but not that aggitated stuff. The spurs have helped too- he gets to thinking about going a different way than I want to and doesn't give in fast- they change his mind. I'm having to use them very little now. Can't wait till I can leave them off- I have tripped and hit the ground three times already trying to walk around with them on :roll: . Its funny- but the other day there was a calf that I thought might be sick and I had to leg the horse the whole time to walk into it to make it get up and move for me. We'll see how it holds up- today its back to putting a load up--gotta get them ready to load out. But there are still two more loads that we are just gonna ride thru as long as the grass holds out. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
