[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 110266, member: 2095"] I was once running my cows on my land AND a place owned by a local land speculator. He turned loose a Tennessee Walker/Quarterhorse he couldn't ride (after she broke his arm) out with MY cows without notifying me of his intentions. It ran with the cows for ~10 years and I never really had any problems. Sometimes it raced the calves. If the cows spooked for any reason she would be four lengths ahead of the first cow and accelerating as they thundered across the pasture. She also went freaking nuts whenever a cow went into heat; but the spectator never interferred with the bull. She was spooky as H*LL and she would run over people or cows in a split second if penned so I got her out of the corralls anytime I needed to work cows. She was a good horse, that I PROBABLY could have handled (IF PAID); though she never saw a saddle after breaking the dude's arm. I know of several ranches that run one or more horses with the cows with no problems; though I would prefer seperate pastures. [/QUOTE]
