[QUOTE="Alan, post: 271826, member: 378"] For whatever reason, I finally got around to introducing my gelding, "Boots" to herding cattle tonight. I first jumped on him cold, which I usually do and rode him up a slight hill about a quarter mile to our house, then back down. Then into the pasture to move the herd to a new pasture about a quarter mile away. No problems with him although he did not act very "cowy", no pinned ears or eagerness to get after cattle. He just moved beind them and followed my commands to keep them moving and together. We did go through trees and bush rubbing on his belly and limbs on my back and his, which was new for him, I was very impressed and happy with him. Best of all no spooks and we are in one piece. He's no cow horse but I'm very happy and had a blast, we may move cattle before they need it again. Just thought I would share. Alan [/QUOTE]
