I thought you'd enjoy this one of me and Tennessee taken on Saturday. He's sure gotten fat in his old age but I'm sure you remember him. He hasn't been ridden to speak of in a year and a half, since I've had the younger ones to ride, but he still had the old get-up-and-go when I took him down the road a few miles from the barn. He's barefoot now and his feet are shorter than they've ever been but he was really smooth, riding on the pavement. He seemed to enjoy getting out too. I think it brought back good memories for both of us.

He may be fat, but he is really handsome! : ) Great pic! How did he do after not being ridden for so long? How old is he?

I just got back from riding Harley. Kristy came and went with me. I had an interesting experience. We walked thru some tall weeds/grass, and when we came out of it Harley had sticktites stuck all over his legs and he did NOT like it. It didn't bother Rowdy at all, but Harley was stomping his feet, and he'd bend down to scratch them off with his nose and get them all over his nose then snort and sling his head around....it was kind of funny, but very annoying. They don't hurt just stick. I got off two times and wiped them off after that he was on his own to deal with them. I guess he got use to them because he finally stopped.

Glad you had a good ride on Tennessee!

I think he looks great, and seems to be enjoying the outing. I won't call anyone fat, even someone else's horse... That just has a habit of biting me in the butt. ;~D

Yes, he still looks great.

I will never forget the time I rode him in a long column of horses. There was well over 100 horses and we were riding two horses side by side. It so happened that I was in the middle and you could see all the way to the front riders then turn around and look to the back. We were moving along at a good pace and most riders heads were bouncing up and down like a monkeys riding a football. I was enjoying a smooth ride on Tennessee and smoking a fine cigar. So I took the cigar out and in a rather loud voice says, Someday we will all be riding smooth gaited horses. There were a few muffled curses shouted my way, between bounces, of course. ..........
