Interesting. Gotta be careful with back injuries. Shouldn't get too wreckless with the old spinal column if you can help it. Anyway, I was just supposing. All I know about breaking horses I learned from watching "Lonesome Dove." :-P
Lonesome Dove is a great movie! He has had no real problems with it since then (he's 61 now) It was close to his neck are (upper back) I agree with you. You sort of can't tell from the pic. Reminds me of the old Roy Rogers and Lone Ranger shows. Hi Ho and away!!!
