[QUOTE="Alan, post: 913436, member: 378"] Trader, I took the time to actually do a google on proud cut, I stand corrected, you/your wife is correct, I'm wrong..... Again. As far a stating you would rather jump on a unknown horse by yourself, bareback with just a halter is terrible advice. Now, you may be a NFR bareback rider, 22 yrs old, etc., who knows on the Internet. I have been in and out of horses for over 30 years and in the last 15 or so. Enough to know so many folks look at horses like dogs, "we have a special bond and they would never put me in danger or hurt me." I'l catch some heat for this but :bs: :bs: :bs: any horse any day! But because so many folks do not have the experience you may have your thought on a halter, bareback and alone may leave someone laying in the dirt with a broken back, broken neck, broken arm..etc. 30+ years and I would never jump on a unknown horse with just a halter. when you see the horse for the first time arrange to meet the owner or trainer, should not be saddled, pet the horse, both to be friendly and to check if it has been warmed up prior to your arrival. Look at the eyes, the should appear clear and alert, not drugged. Then have the owner jump on, do they have to lunge the horse first, tire him out some? When you feel safe then get on. :2cents: Just another opinion, and cross7 try to find another horse, lots of good ones out there cheap these days. Why buy someones else's problems. Alan [/QUOTE]
