That seems more common, useful and safer than standing in the saddle. Also I always did like to hobble train a horse. This is so useful if the horse ever gets tangled up. You don't spend much time in the saloon do you? That's a good thing cause you can't spell it. Hope you have a great day. Just a thought; you might add “Cross a mud puddle” to your list.

And typically most Prison Horses weight as much as 1400 pounds. The system has an occasional high-end sale in Navasota and a few sales a year where the rest of the horses are sold but there has not been one of these sales for several years. Did you note notice that a few hundred of your prison horses went to auction last week? And just today, 150 of them were found at a feedlot in Texas, starving. This is alarming - can you explain what is happening? Inasmuch as your article says the horses are rarely sold?
