Not a roper, not a bronc buster, never rode in an arena. But I've been around horses and cattle and cowdogs since old enough to walk. That said days horseback are sorta like A Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.... We lease pasture in big country and you'll be away from the pickup and trailer for 8-10 hours or longer per day. Gather and push for 2-3 days and never open a gate. Coldest I've ever been in my life was horseback. (several times) Thirstiest I've ever been was horseback. (a few times) Most frustrated I've ever been was horseback. (played out horse) Feeling like you've got the world by the tail.....horseback. (about 1000 times....grin) Sounds like you earn your living. Being a Cowboy to me...... From a person who is most def not a cowboy.... Been other things though.

Cowboy'n is too tough for me. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

I run 30+ calves thru a chute every year and cut (not band) them myself. Of course they get shots and all. I have pulled many, many calves, with or without pullers some dead some alive. I have dispatched cows with a Bullet between the eyes. February made me wonder why anybody would want to be a cowboy. I’m not a cowboy, I hate horses.

I kinda hate to hear that because I've been called a "cowboy" all my life and I've never done anything with cows except throw rocks at them and don't like getting bit by horses. Real cowboys don't have an "attitude". It's just what they do. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

And I know you've BTDT just not on a fricken horse.... We're all gluttons for punishment....lol Been on a horse x2. Some horse riding ranch up north of boulder a buddy in the unit knew people from minnesota who had bought it. Their dream I geuss. Nose,s to butt holes on the trails..... They try to bite your thigh with their Mr ed teeth and evil eye look. A good bundle up the reins snatch that head in . And good punch at the base of the ear adjusted that attitude And some dont see rattle snakes until the last second. Literally hi ho silver hold onto the pommel run to the barn after that one . 2 days in a row They dont have a key switch either. Homie fired up the YZ 250 in the back of his 74 F 100 and went trail blasting after the Hi ho silver incident... Homie was a young 22 yr old in 85. I know working horses are waaay different than dude ranch horses. Dude ranch horses aint worth a fugg.... LOL!!! Middle daughter was a vaquera in Girl Scouts. moved up that food chain from a little girl to one of their riding instructors over a 9 10 yr period. All involved in the state girl scout horse camp bout 25 miles from here. Cost me lots of $$$$ while she was all involved with that. Got bugged about horses constantly. Get alexis a horse. Keep it at FTCKY stables This, that, and the other. Horse this, horse that. Worlds most expensive pet if they dont have a work purpose. No fugging way was I falling down that Rabbit hole....
