[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 50617, member: 97"] Most of ours is still done on horseback--Lot of things that a motor vehicle can't do--- and places that you can't get to----- Somedays its just one on horseback some times its 4-5. Like to keep 4 or 5 old horses around to use during the summer- always have a few young 3 or 4 year olds getting educated to use... Last week I was alone gathering pairs out of the community pasture- used my old gelding and cut everything out- no problem- pushed into an open pasture- .. Next day all I needed to do was trail them about 10 miles down a fenceline so I took the 4-wheeler and dog- since I was alone again I thought that would be easier on the arthritis--and easier opening a couple of gates--- trailed about 4 or 5 miles until they pooped out- went back to get pickup and trailer- - About a 1/2 mile from the trailer I hit a bunch of ruts and flipped the 4-wheeler on top of me in the bottom of a washout- Thought I was dead for a while-then thought it might catch on fire on top of me-- finally got it turned off and off me- couldn't get it back on its wheels- had to walk to the pickup and get it to flip the 4 wheeler back over. Used the old horse the rest of the day and ever since-- Hell of a lot easier on me. [/QUOTE]
