[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 803040, member: 1863"] Well I would like to take credit for being an understanding hubby I have to admit it was mostly my idea to get her a horse and not hers. I ride alone or with friends but she has not really participated with horses or with anything farm related. She is a city girl. When I brought the idea up she was more receptive to it this time. I wanted something that we could do together and both enjoy (I don't like shopping etc.). I wanted her to have a positive experience with horses unlike myself who had not had many good experiences growing up. I bought my horses to get over my nervousness of them. As a kid just about every horse I got on either threw me off, kicked or bit me. I had one blow full speed into the barn. The top of the door way was about a foot higher than the saddle horn. You can guess what happened to me......cleaned me off of the back of it like you see on cartoons. Thinking back I realized that I never got to mess with a well trained horse. We would go with our friends and pull ol charley or Buck off of the back 40 and throw a saddle on him and mount up. We didn't even think about how he had not been rode in 2 years etc. Later I could never understand why I got so nervous on them. I have jumped out of planes in combat zones, served in combat in two wars, messed with ticked off 2,000 pound bulls, chased monster wild boar and bears with a bow and arrow and came face to face with Jogeephus's killer Brangus cow and have not been as nervous as I have on a horse. So a few years ago I went shopping around for a well trained horse and wound up buying a bred TWH mare. She is a big baby but her baby is the SHEDEVIL horse. Not mean so much but hotter than a 2 dollar pistol. This spring we plan to do some trail rides together as a husband and wife team. I am looking forward to the quality time. [/QUOTE]
