So now yer playin' Roy Rogers - 'quick on the Trigger' - LOL

Well, cowboy, hunker down and set a spell, 'cause my horse, Grasshopper,
was a 'champeen' in his day.

I honestly used to ride him 3 miles to get the mail in the summer, before there were enough persons living out our way to justify the mail car to come by the house!

Well, rather than cut a horse out of that thousand head remuda, I'd always walk those five miles to school.
In the wintertime I'd tie barb wire around my bare feet to keep from slipping on the ice.

Seriously, when I was at the Boy's Ranch at Tankersly, I had a chestnut gelding named Grasshopper!
That sucker was about fourteen hands tall!
'Course I was only ten so my hands weren't all that big!
