Reminds me of the song Chestnut Mare, by The Byrds, “I’m going to catch that horse cause I can, and when I do I’ll give her my brand, and we’ll be friends for life, she’ll be just like a wife, I’m going to catch that horse cause I can”

Nicely done, albeit the horses are trained. Crappy trailer.

Used to take me three days and 2 hired cowboys to catch old Spot. Once caught he would easily load. Half Arab and half Oregon Desert Mustang. Colored like a Belgian with white hooves the farriers cussed. Wildest horse I ever owned, we came in 30 minutes ahead of 2nd place in an endurance ride in Missouri. It was a lesson in how to make 23 other horse people really mad. It was only a 15 miler. I turned around twice. The first time I saw two horses about a mile back, the 2nd time I saw no one.

Do you load a horse with a 105 mm shell from the breech?

That was excellent, and reminds me of the things I miss about Northern California.

There were times with my old feller that a two-by-four between the eyes and a meat hoist were awfully tempting...

Ours are eager to load, the figure they’re going barrel racing and enjoy their work.

Got one pony though, sheesh. Put me in the ER with a dislocated shoulder, loads if and when she bloody well feels like it. I bought this hellion for my then 8yo daughter. Daughter is now 22 and the pony is retired. The pony has tossed numerous supposed trainers on the keisters. My daughter races and trains both horses and riders but nobody can handle the hellion but her. Still runs her now and again just for grins. The old pony is still blistering fast.

The horses were easy to load with some hay in the nose of the trailer.

It was the bull who always gave us a hard time....especially when the neighbors cows were in heat. He didn’t care about hay at all!
