Used to take me three days and 2 hired cowboys to catch old Spot. Once caught he would easily load. Half Arab and half Oregon Desert Mustang. Colored like a Belgian with white hooves the farriers cussed. Wildest horse I ever owned, we came in 30 minutes ahead of 2nd place in an endurance ride in Missouri. It was a lesson in how to make 23 other horse people really mad. It was only a 15 miler. I turned around twice. The first time I saw two horses about a mile back, the 2nd time I saw no one.

A coworker years ago lost an eye loading his horse. A harness lead whipped back and hit him.

These kiwi horses responding to a couple of cracks of the bullwhip causes me to wonder how familiar with that whip they had to become in the past.

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.”
