Ralphie,
We were in the Absoroka Range on the South Fork of the Shoshone River where Bill Cody took Grand Duke Alexis of Prussia on that famous hunting trip.
Your point about off limits areas is well taken. Crouper breaking and any other kind you can think of like mounting on the right, pulling weight with a rope, etc. really helps the useful and safety of mountain horses and mules. Backpacks, bicyckes, gunshots, llamas, the list is endless. People used to ask me if I could shoot off my mules. "Sure" I said, " I can shoot off all of them...once."
