My sis used to have a boyfriend that was a cowboy type (NOT EQUESTRIAN). We had another friend that was teasing him about his cowboy skills and made a bet with him. Something about "topping off" his new horse. The cowboy took the bait and ended up being the one to give the first few rides to a Percheron!!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! You know there are great things to be said about people with a country heart... Even if you live in the city wanting to be in touch with natuer and your impact on the world around you says alot!
