AHHHHHHH Haymaker, that's your little Appy cross isn't it?
He looks pretty good standing there.

I'm suprised you are using a tie-down with a snaffle bit...and...I can't help but ask...............is that tie-down hooked to a chain curb strap? Shocked Say what?

If so, that's just not how it's done...for the horses' sake...

One more question-the cowpony races in Texas--are they run with
big saddle bags? Seriously, I know some of those races are run with
different equipment.

It's not a snaffle,straight egg butt,but I really need a curb,just been diggin around finding what I can around here,this little devil dont have the manners I thought he did,tie down stays on till we get better aquainted.
Organized cowpony races around here are sometimes run with full tack,but the ones I was refering to are a few ole geezers with good horses,good flat pasture and a few hundred dollar bills.
good luck

Is that the end of your rifle scabbard i see? Ya'll must sort some mean cattle to go packin' artillery when ya ride pens! Wink I guess if ya lose the pony race you can lay down some lead to get em' duckin as ya take the cash and split! Wink Or maybe ya carry a sortin' stick in the scabbard for thumpin' grumpy sisters when ya work their calves like we do! Very Happy

That pony looks pretty good under saddle. Sure can see the appy in his nose.
All you guys down there put your rifle scabbards on backwards? Shocked
