You'll be willing to put up with some quirks and irritations for it. That's a lot different than tolerating outright bad behavior. <br /><br />Really loved this story!!! Now I wanna barrel race again!!<br /><br />We were never good at it but enjoyed it. And yeah, after a run I'd put a kid on him too because he knew the difference. I put up with some goofiness for that. I love goofy geldings.

I was a kid so was not as sure of myself. Had a guy tell me he could show my horse and me a few tricks. Oh boy, bad mistake. He had spurs.... My horse dumped him, ran down the alley and had a perfect pattern came back and did a sliding stop in front of me. Would have won too if he had a rider.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673248016419731468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-6932871496700243902012-06-25T22:04:31.414-06:002012-06-25T22:04:31.414-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673248016419731468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-50291601829028137272012-06-25T21:43:13.925-06:002012-06-25T21:43:13.925-06:00That was FANTASTIC.

She would test you every step of the way especially when we are working the cows...I had to be sharp, otherwise she would get away with murder, like slamming the front end in the ground when we stopped with the cow! OUCH!! I did win a little over $5000 on her though...Slippinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-70173234495970290202012-06-25T18:46:19.749-06:002012-06-25T18:46:19.749-06:00Dayum.

Thanks yall, ...Thanks Mugs, that means alot to me!<br /><br />Thanks yall, I'm pretty passionate about this horse. <br />This guy had bounced around between a few different owners before I ended up with him, I promised him that he'd not have to fool with getting used to another owner ever again. I think sometimes horses deserve a chance at *forever*, if that makes sense? He's a goober, I'd run out of room in this comment box before I could fully describe the full spectrum of his personality. <br /><br />He makes it fun for me. He may not ever take me to the NFR, I may never win another dime on him. But he tries his heart out for me, and that's worth alot in my book.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595151768163764556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-19787142815506460402012-06-25T12:49:50.411-06:002012-06-25T12:49:50.411-06:00I loved this story!

She knows when I get on her it is time to work and I will push her when we practice and she will kick out throw a buckbor 2, but when I ask her for a good soild run she gives it to me with all her heart. She knows the difference between practice and show time. When I'm finished I put kids on her to cool her down and she loves kids. People that have seen her buck thinks I'm stupid for putting kids on her. Some how she knows not to act up with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-25490269822282136742012-06-25T09:52:37.810-06:002012-06-25T09:52:37.810-06:00I loved this story.
