Yeah that was funny after we got a few miles down the road, not so much as we were throwing the horse in the trailer.lol But heck, I grew up at those bush tracks, so I thought it was normal! Can't say we havent done our share of tricking though. At one time we had 2 half brothers, one was sorrel with chrome everywhere and could win a halter class anywhere, the other, Red, was a barely 15hand, long, rangy thing, who did look like much but no one could beat him 250yds and we would drive up looking for a match and would always go to the "top" horse and ask them to match and they could pick who they wanted to run agianst...well of course it was always "Red" and man, those guys would be ticked off after he beat them 2-3 lenghts going 250yds! It got to the point the jock that rode him would try to get the other jocks to bet him $200, one jump out the gate!!!! Now thats confidence!
