WE have ridden a lot of the National Parks in the area. Bryce, Zions, Grand Staircase, Capital Reef, But I have not made it down to the Grand Canyon. Mostly because I want to ride my own horses and...

I call it dancing with the sage brush. If they don't behave where I put them in the line, They get to dance circle around what brush is along side the trail. soon they realize that it is easier to...

Love the Prussic Loops. Cheap to make, lightwieght, easy to readjust,

But if the horse dances all night, They do twist up and the opening is little harder to thread the lead thru, Especially if...

I usually do set up a hot wire around the area where I let the horses graze. We usually bring in a 1/4 mile roll of hotwire and fence off a large meadow. But I only allow the horses in it during the...

Trail horses need to learn to take care of themselves. I vote for NO LEG protections, Yes they get a few rock bites. I get a few slivers when I work with lumber, I get dirt under my nails when I...

I met George while up Elk Hunting, He had finished up with his clients and was hunting the same area I hunt. We've seen each other ever fall for 8-10 years. He sets up a great camp, which I've...

Think also of the weight attached to each leg with the woolies.

Personally, I think they are a little too much. A good pair of chinks or full length shotgun chaps will keep you warm, add some...

True leather chaps are warm. You can puchase Chinks that just cover from your knees up or buy Shotgun Chaps that go to the ankles. The chinks are more open in the seat and back, were as the Shotgun...

In the warmer months I hose them off.

In the colder months I let them fend for themselves

I've tried to convert all my daughters and any of their friends. It works for a while, my daughters all enjoy riding, But none of them are horse crazy.

But we have many great memories of weekends...

Wow some of you folks live in areas where it sounds like people take no responsibility for their safety or care about their neighbors.

I live in the west and have hunted most of the Western...

Go work as a volunteer before your first ride, See what goes on at the P&R and Vet checks. Then go practice with your horse. He will do fine.

Remember, It's all about finishing, not winning

My youngest daughter is not really into dating, But she and her friends kinda hang around as a group. One of the boys who has been in our home a few times with that group, had his father die...

It's not a BOSS issue. It's just the horses desire to keep up with the herd. I used to do a lot of CTR. They would time riders at 30 second intervals. So there was always a horse ahead of me, if...

Hosspuller, If you look close at my photos, You will see that I am using the Prussic Loop on my high lines. It's a very easy way to attach leads to the highline.

I usually don't use the ribbons,...

Living in Utah and riding primarily Forest Service and BLM land. I rarely have a corral for my horses. I have used almost any method you can imagine in CTR and endurance career and during hunting and...

We were pushing cows saturday and keep stirring up bees. The problem is the cows would kick them out, and us bringingup the rear pushing the cows had to evade them.

the dogs gots the worst of it....

Too many of the riders are wearing the headphones listening to their ipods. They are not going to hear bells or horns. Heck half the time, they don't even hear me ask them if they are having a good...

Rowdy, We could care less about the type of events that ACTHA puts on. As you said, Different events for different folks. Let the folks that enjoy that type of ride go and support it.

What started...
