Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you ride other people's horses?

No, haven't ridden other peoples horses.

But I have tipped over others cows.

Not since I was a kid. Then bought my own. Then sold them and the 20 acre pasture and barn. Now it's 4 wheels or walking.

there was a girl in my kid's elementary school class who acted like a dog all day

Ha! She ain't no horse, but this crazy bitch tried to do me in back in September. If it wasn't for my expertly executed dismounting technique.....she woulda kilt me I do believe




Pissed me off that I left this at home

I have, but Shirley don't like to. Prefer the feel and sync of an old friend.

I don't get near them dangerous Sob's. Ain't no Mensa member but I got them smarts. Horses kill you quick.

My boys and I are fairly active in Ranch Sorting. Made a lot of friends in this sport, and we often trade horses for a bit while at shows. These ain’t your average horses though.

Just a little way of letting you know the britchen was too tight.

I hate it. Every family vacation my dad signs us up for a trail ride. When the wrangler asks who knows how to ride, the others point at me. Last time I ended up with a nag named TKO. This horse would throw it's head back when you asked it to go. Nearly hit me in the face, and I realized that the name stood for technical knock out. After the first time, I whacked it across the face with the reins and made it spin a dozen times. It was OK after that.

The only horses I ever rode were other peoples. Some were awesome. Ben , the mule , sucked, but the boss' wife insisted I put some miles on him. Two broken ribs later, I did! Hurts to this day!

I have, but as others have stated it ain’t anything like the horse you know.

Like women, they’re all at least a lil bit crazy, some much more than others.

But mine was my crazy bitch & after we survived some rodeos early on in our relationship, we learned to get along mostly.

Still had a squabble occasionally, but we got along pretty damn well & put some happy miles behind us.

Gristle, I give you a 7 on your dismounting technique.


You lost points for lack of symmetry as you weren’t busted up on both sides. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ya when needed but have had lots of my own, few real nice rides,

been stepped on, bucked off , dumped while mounting ,stepped off before he went over backwards, run over by one of my studs when he wanted a mare , he also picked me up by the belt when i was checking his back hoof and thru me 10 feet,,fun times.

Not anymore

There's a reason why cowboys wear pistols .

Yep.

My great-uncle in Alberta was dragged by a horse more than once.

On one occasion, Great-Unc was being dragged and bouncing along the ground.

He used all five shots from his Colt Peacemaker to "persuade" his horse to stop - and the horse still ran for one or two hundred yards before expiring because of adrenaline.


I rode a horse once that tried to saw my right leg off by running along a barb wire fence, getting closer and closer.

No more horse riding in my future!

It beats walking.

I think Sam meant 4 legged horses, iron.

Some are that way.
