Cutters are long past futurities by 6. While I don't agree with starting colts at 2 and pushing them that hard there are thousands that get started that young. Most do stay sound.
The joy was short-lived

I am not talking about futurities. Big push right now in both the show world and the racing industry to set 4 as the minimum age. Any real horseman knows better than to race a 2 or 3 yr old, Or compete hard on them. The ones fighting it are the pieces of sh*t that don't want to have to wait 4 years to get any money.
You don't refer to many others without ridicule or name calling do you?

We use to be big into horses. Truck was always hitched to a trailer that could haul 8 horses and did almost every weekend. I had my ranch horse and my drill horse. We did all our own breaking and training. Our kids though would have the best horses, often bought after being retired from roping. As they got older, they would ride the ones we raised. But, now, i prefer my 4wheeler. My trusty ranch horse is getting old. Not really up to starting over. I dont hit the ground like i use to.

I was riding the old mare once when I got a phone call, I threw her raines over the pasture gate and got distracted. There she was the next morning standing like she was tied. RIP DEE DEE
I like when you're honest Brute 23...see.... there's nothing to do...I agree, we agree, right boys?ATVs are for trailriders and horses are for Yellowstone want-to-be's. There I said it... let's do this.

How many times have we seen the atv vs horse deal on here? I figured I would just make both mad and see what happens.

I'm just going to keep feeding the flames. You can't open a gate while still on your ATV.
Nice looking horse, NETE. How is she bred? How old in this pic?"
Man, do we have a lot of pots calling kettles black on this thread! Actually, I reserve the ridicule to those who deserve it and the names to those who have earned them. Like the p.o,s.'s I mentioned in my post.

I swing gates open from my ATV seat all the time...
Closing them can be more of a challenge. Haha

. She was a Poco Bueno granddaughter, I paid $800 for her at 4yo. Once you put a halter on her she had great ground manners. She had several thousand miles in the mountains of Washington, Idaho and Montana on her when I had to put her down at 34 years. It happened to be my birthday

So basically anybody that doesn't agree with you, your math, or that calls you on your bulls**t...

I'll grant that you can swing one open on it, but closing it definitely changes the game. For that, you might have to crank up the Shoebarus.
Burden of proof stands with the accuser, and you're not exactly any better about getting all twisted up over stuff yourself.

You don't need it to fold all the way, just halfway so you can catch some sick air to prove your superiority to your livestock right in front of their eyes.
