These are the some of the horses I ride for two weeks every year at the H. F. Bar Ranch in Saddlestring, Wyoming. They spend their winters grazing freely in the Bighorn Mountains. I've been thrown from a horse like this out there and landed in a hospital with a concussion and a lot of bruises and abrasions, faced myself and got back on a horse the next day to ride again. I've also had to make some tough decisions about riding up steep mountainsides and along narrow cliffs. It's a place to enjoy scenery but also to test your limits and see what you have. Definitely not a place for sitting pretty.
I'm happy to enter the HORSES into smith kaich jones' Sitting Pretty blogcall at Emma Tree.
Oh Lordy - I just laughed right out loud when this popped up on my computer screen! Who you calling pretty indeed? LOL! Perfect ending for my late night internet business and a much needed laugh!!

Horses and I have a heathly respect for each other and a mutual agreement that I stay off of them and they don't bite me. I'm impressed with anybody who rides. I'm even more impressed with anybody that falls off a horse and gets back on. Wow :)Bea
ReplyDeleteThese are seriously some cute horse noses! And you know what they say about falling off those horses and getting right back on... way to face your fears Teri!
