That appears to be a very nice freight sleigh.

Thanks.

Bob sleigh is about 60% original.

Riding isn't a problem. It is getting off and walking after 3 hours in the saddle that gets tough.

^^^^this^^^^

Exactly what I meant, sometimes if I bailed off too quick my knees would about give out. I hike 3 1/4 miles up and down hill most every night after work and still had trouble sometimes when dismounting.

Really like that setup round oak!.....super nice.

Sold a 4 year old yestersay started two 24 month olds this past week




Use them a little during squirrel season.

Kaleb,

Enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure.

Thanks, Kaleb.

Nice looking horse flesh in your pics. I enjoyed the show.

NO PICTURES??????

Some, but not near as much as our horses need...
Ill behaved a lot of the time, but can't really blame them
when they're only ridden once a week at best.
Went on one overnight camping trip,

Big group ride the next day, my daughter's horse decided to lay down and wallow in a mud hole with her - everybody thought it was hilarious, except my Dad - she was riding his Tucker saddle, saddlebags, and wool blanket...

#2 daughter on hers:

Been on one Sunday evening ride with a small group of friends

few laps around to the country store, about 18 miles around

No. Decided to pony our third to keep some miles on him as well, so did not have a spare hand.

OK, Marlin. Found one from the previous week on a friend's FB page.

That's a couple of nice looking horses. You'd like it here. Lots of places with horses. Kinda like it here myself. I'd get horses but they'd want to take turns with who get's to ride who!!!

Thanks, marlin. We got pretty lucky with the three boys we have - they're a good outfit for me/us.

with my son coming home from college for the summer, I'll be fighting him for riding the white horse I'm on....and I don't fancy my chances!

I'll be happy to ride my daughter's big paint roping/barrel horse.

Hey all! Long time, no post.

I finally got myself my own horse! Well, he sort of "got" me, I guess. He's a big (16.2), older, Thoroughbred ex-racehorse whose former owners abandoned him at my old barn.

He hadn't been ridden in a year, and had a prior reputation of dumping riders out on the trail. Not from bucking, but from bolting uncontrollably and leaving riders in the dust. The barn owner asked me to work with him a bit before he took him to auction, and after a few weeks I decided I wanted to keep him. I started paying his board and working him out as much as possible, and he's really come around! His name is Remington.

He's taken me through the Uintas, through Antelope Island, and plenty of local trails. He can still be a little "looky" at times, but now he just jumps sideways. No more mile-long bolts!

Here he is at Antelope Island, and at a parade in Kaysville (I am leading on my sister's black grade mare, my buddy in the white hat is riding him). Remington was the only horse big enough for him!

So happy to see your horses--I'll be posting more of our miles this summer, too!
