Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) spent part of his tour of the U.S-Mexico border on Wednesday with Border Patrol officials on horseback.

Video surfaced Wednesday afternoon showing Ryan riding a horse during his visit to the southwestern border; the Speaker did not appear to be wearing a riding helmet.

Ryan also toured the Rio Grande and surrounding areas with Homeland Security officials by boat and helicopter.

ADVERTISEMENT He’s also expected to visit the McAllen Border Control Station, which patrols 53 miles of the Rio Grande.

LOL....The writer had to point out the he wasn’t wearing a riding helmet. The Border Patrol personnel do not wear riding helmets, you dope. Only our metrosexual former president would have worn a helmet.

I hope they showed him some of these scenes:

Especially the "rape trees" where feminine articles are left as "trophies".

A BS stunt from total BS’r. He looked Hannity right in the eye lied his ass off. I watched it and it was obvious he lying. If Trump wants to get anything done he is going to have to go after this punk in a big way.

**”Your horse is destined to kill somebody”**

If that trainer is very experienced, then her advice is not to be taken lightly.
Too many times riders get injured or even killed by a “bad horse”.

Raised around horses near Corry, PA, my dad’s got his first horse when he was just a small boy. He came to IL after hs, worked on farm that still used draft horses for livestock chores, and qrtr horses for working cattle. Through the years he broke horses himself. His weakness was never giving up on a horse he was training because he liked them too much. He received broken ribs a few times by not admitting the horse was just bad.

You can have one that seems good, but just has a “burr” that just won’t go away.

Me....I’ve been thrown enough, that at 62, I’m through with riding any horse I don’t trust. (Started riding bulls at age 18, quit the same day. Too painful. Dad said, “that’s not got anything to do with ranching. That’s just gladiator stuff”.

Looks a guy who has spent quite a bit of time on horseback but not recently.

In balance.

Surprised the Cuck could uncross his legs and ride a horse astride.

The Border Patrol should have “repatriated” him to Mexico while they had the chance.

I agree about not liking Ryan’s work as Speaker, it’s just that his riding is not that bad. Let’s pick on him for what we really don’t like.
