New horse

Not a big horse fan! But the wife and daughter and the wife wanted me to ride with her so we have been on the look out for one that I could ride and sissy can grow into. Sissy's horse is getting up in age and starting to get the ole author in her back leg. So we came across this 4 year old that will let anyone ride. Need
to work on a few things like his backing up and keeping in trot for my liking but seems to be a pretty smart horse that he will figure out how I want things done. Brought him to the farm and my mom hopped on him, so he is grandma proof lol.

That is a handsome horse!

Nice looking horse, that's what I need, a horse that anyone can ride. The only horse I ever saw like that was on a Merry-Go-Round.

I have been looking at the price of a good broke saddle horse and I can't believe the money they are getting for them. A good broke trail horse. No games or rodeo just trail and getting 3500.00 to 5500.00

Nothing is cheap. This one is just a trail horse for now, wife does horse shows so I'm sure she will work on somethings with him for the shows. I just need a horse not to buck, go straight where I point him, and to stop lol. I'm not picky.. Alicia, and everyone else think we need Cadillac in every horse I'll settle for a minivan.. like I said I'm not really a horse fan but she been wanting one we could ride together. Too me only horse worth anything is one work cattle, but I don't have cattle so I don't need one really... But what momma wants momma gets.

Yes, but what does a trip to the ER cost, sometimes the 5500 dollar horse is a bargain!

Heck yeah!!

Are you guys going to the big trail ride in Eminence coming up?

There was a big one last weekend and a guy rode this horse. He told me he put about 30 hours on the horse pass weekend. Do have plans on going to one may have to wait for next year, way work has been being shorthanded been rough finding time to do anything. Me and the wifes anniversary is coming up in October and the looked into some rides in black Missouri. But may have to check out eminence

Yeah there is a great big one in eminence October 2nd-8th I have not been to it. The guy I bought my mule from lives there anRiver. Me about it. I rode some of the trails for about 2 hours. They were pretty darn nice trails right on the Jack's fork river.

nice looking horse

x2 Beautiful looking animal
Looks like Trigger LOL

Dstone that maybe the week I take off for the anniversary will have to look I to that one. I'm sure lodging is all booked up though.

I had horses once
...went back to a 4 wheeler

Them there hayburners are really good for things trapping related, it just takes some extra effort to get them in a jar.

The one time I year I'd like to have a horse , is spring , when looking for shed horns


Otherwise I don't have any spare time for the long list of headaches

Nice little palomino. Looks well balanced in front and rear axles.

Sometimes ranches have older ones that wouldnt mind giving a deal in cost for, especially if they know a good home awaits.

An ad in the local paper can yield good results, as well as your veterinarian and farrier.

Pretty horse;i like the saddle too.Is it a Billy Cook?I used to keep horses and loved my Billy cook saddle;really comfortable.

Gwc the have no one idea what brand of saddle that is, lol that's the wife's and the just know how much I forked out for it.

Lol if its a Billy Cook it wasnt cheap.

I'm not sure what expensive is or not lol lady Alicia rides with was $3200 that was crazy too me.

I used to have a Billy Cook, years ago. I traded it in for a 1923 Hamley form fitter, with a semi Quarter tree. Much nicer , for me, safer, and with the semi tree size, it fit anyone, just using a felt pad. The BC was a full Quarter tree , low gullet, and that didn't do well at all with the variety of mules and horses I rode. BC is a good saddle , well-made, just wasn't the fit I wanted. Or the seat size, which was much too large for me.

Since then, I've found my fit , in Aussie gear. A crossbreed Australian semi Quarter tree, that won't kill the knees in all day rides. A deep seat and light in weight. I'll never use anything else, now.

Good saddles , built by top quality artists, are spendy, especially new. Even used , they are still a bit in cost, but as in other things, you get what you pay for. Safe , well-made gear is important. Like safety features in a car.

How does she get stopped, her feet won't reach the clutch.

The brakes are also in the steering.

Lol the brakes are in the voice as well, tell him to stop and stand the horse stops. She has her own saddle but momma didn't want to switch them out just threw her on. The lady we bought him from rode bareback most of the time. She was actually mad at us because her saddle has what we call sticky butts, it Velcro her down, and mom wouldn't let her do anything more then walk the horse and she wanted to trot, she kept telling her mom but my sticky butts on I want to run! Momma said no way.
