How long does it take you to catch and load your horse?

The sound of a whip cracking brought my girlfriend running every time.........
Ours are eager to load, the figure they’re going barrel racing and enjoy their work.
Got one pony though, sheesh. Put me in the ER with a dislocated shoulder, loads if and when she bloody well feels like it. I bought this hellion for my then 8yo daughter. Daughter is now 22 and the pony is retired. The pony has tossed numerous supposed trainers on the keisters. My daughter races and trains both horses and riders but nobody can handle the hellion but her. Still runs her now and again just for grins. The old pony is still blistering fast.
I know a horse like that . . . at full gallop, he’s like a battleship cruising through waves. Always wanted to ride him, but he has a problem with the command, “whoa.”
The horses were easy to load with some hay in the nose of the trailer.
It was the bull who always gave us a hard time....especially when the neighbors cows were in heat. He didn’t care about hay at all!
We used to have cattle on two farms and used the same bull for both herds. He was good-natured for a bull and soon figured out that if the trailer showed up he could start thinking of that song “I got a brand new girl-friend ...”
Felt kind of bad when we loaded him for the last ride to the butcher’s.
He was very tasty.
Same here. Our bull’s last ride was to the butcher after breaking through a fence. He was delicious and fed 3 family’s. We sold our Scottish Highland herd after that but they are great tasting cattle!
yep - no problems that way.
On winter nights here in Colorado, my 4 come from pasture to the barn at the charge after one whistle. In summer, I have to go put the habeus grabbus on them or jump on the alpha and use her to mosey the other 3 along.
Thus I have come to the scientific conclusion that green grass causes temporary deafness in mares...
Would anyone care to bet that he feeds them grain in that trailer on a regular basis?
