This horse slide is making me miss my horses, especially my retired Appaloosa barrel horse, Lady's Hot Shot. I didn't barrel race him but did ride hundreds of mountain trails on him. Hot Shot and I on the other side of the big bay horse. My daughter is on the bay. I rode Hot Shot in a lot of local wagon train benefits. He loved beer and chips and would even eat fried chicken if he was offered. I rode him a lot on mountain trails and he never passed an empty beer box without picking it up and shaking it to see if something fell out. We didn't drink but other campers and trail riders couldn't resist giving him a taste when he begged. Smartest horse I ever had.

Love the pics. One of the cleverest horses we had was an appaloosa, roany with hip blanket. He was a barrel horse too. He could open any gate that wasn’t chained.

This is my 28 year old bay. Not sure how to post image!

SLIDE:

I had a registered Appaloosa. A blue roan named Renegade's Diablo. Out of Renegade's Revel and Pokey's Jay Bar.

He was quite tall. I had to position him down hill to give myself a little height to get in the saddle. Another Doc Bar/Poco Bueno descendant. Good disposition - nothing like his name. Revel was high - strung - too much thoroughbred.

I bought him as a 2 year old for my daughter. She and he had only 2 speeds - walk or flat out run. Ha.
