Lefty, Alot of years

This is me alot of years ago..lol

Nice ride you got there

That's a lot of hoss Tick!

When do you figure that was taken?

Let me figure, I'm 55 and I would've been about 12 in the pic, so about 43 years ago

cool nice pic.

I would call you an old fart but I'm not that daggum far behind ya.

In that pic, even in human years, that horse was older than I was, she was 13 0r 14. lol

dkrug, the only ones now that interest me are bowlegged women, and I'm to old for that foolishness

Tick,at 55 you are just a baby.LOL. You still have a lot to look forward to.My best years trapping(numbers wise) were when I was in my 50s.
I played ball till I was 55.
Tom

Tick, I didn't know you was such a pup.

oh Tom you're one of them old mossy horns then.. one of those guys that's been there, done that, seen it all, and nothing impresses me anymore....lol

yep MB750, A 55 yr old in an 85 yr old body...lol

I'm 81 and I'm impressed every morning that I'm still alive and taking nourishment.

I haven't been to the Alamo--so I haven't seen anything.
And that is the only thing on my bucket list.But then I would have to fly and that is one thing I have never done.And my son in law is an airplane mechanic and owns a plane.LOL--birds were meant to fly-not me.
Tom

we where so poor i had to ride a cow! holsteins have a hard backbone!

Beav and Bogmaster, wow, there were alot of beavers accounted for then between you. Although I never met either of you personally and probably never will, it seems like I know you both,through name and reputation. and all I can say is Wow, they caught more beaver then I will ever see

Nothing is better--than the smell of castor.
Tom

I know, I got the fever

That is a lot of Hoss...most likely Percheron, maybe even a cross, given hoof size and amount of feathering. They ride like a lazy boy wide chair, hard to fall off .

I know folks in their late seventies, even some early eighties who still ride. I will always ride , too.
Fun picture

You are right Sharon, a Percheron,...If I remember correctly it weighted around 1500 pounds, (we never did use the hands measurement) just weight. We kept horses to work in the woods logging. I would ride them bare-back when they were old and quiet..lol

Watching a team skid logs by voice command is a thing of beauty.

Very true. Impressive to say the least. Watching working horses do their thing is amazing.

Sharon would know a lot more about the Percheron, but it looks to me like a team of those things could start a train rollin. Wow.

Also- check out Ticks curls- I bet he got lots of dates back in the day

Gee.... Haw... them were the 2 commands, no matter ox team or horse team

Jeely. Leftlane, you're gonna make me feel feel sexy again....

Thats what she said!
