Been a long time for me too. I guess I just got over it. I just like my horses and i do my best to raise them right. I might help a friend with their cattle once in a while or go to a clinic. Ride the desert or in the mountains. I rarely even take them hunting any more. Found that in the area that I've been hunting I do not often need them. Sure do admire the people that can take them and train them to a top level though.
