[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1842189, member: 637"] I understand about as we get older, there are so many things we need to do. Always something needs more attention than riding a horse. And years ago, horse riding was a great pass time for Americans. Now not so much. In the 60's and 70's, there seemed to be a horse in every pasture. Now those pastures are gone and in crops. There was a big saddle club always within a few miles and it would be packed on Saturdays where people enjoyed gathering and talking. Games and fun always going on. Barrels, Poles, flags and speed races. We had Western Pick up and scoop races. Those scoop races were crazy. Put a rope around the saddle horn and tie it to a corn scoop and someone sits in the scoop and you see how fast you can get back across the light. No one ever got hurt doing that or shall I say, no broken bones. But to see someone who was not used to knowing how to bank that scoop as they went around a curve, we all rolled and laughed as they went rolling across the dirt. They would play music over the loud speaker while we rode and I learned to love, "Creedence Clearwater Revival," and songs of that era. Every time I hear music of that time, it takes me back to the "Frog Jump Saddle Club." We rode on Saturday nights, Sunday afternoons and Tuesday night. What a childhood I had there!! [/QUOTE]
