and worked on a ranch while in grad school. He's a real cowboy, and entitled to the hat. (I grew up on a cattle ranch, so I know a cowboy poser when I see one.)

That's why there are no horses at Prairie Chapel (the Crawford ranch) I'm told. They scare the hell out of me too. I really wouldn't talk but, see, I don't play at being a cowboy. All hat no cattle that's Dubya.

Find someone with a nice quarterhorse. Wonderful dispositions. Just run your hand down the soft neck, and give him a little sniff. You will be hooked for life.

irrational fear. I grew rideing quite a bit around here. I did a couple of trips on horseback with the family as a kid out west too - 10+ days. It's been about the last 10 or so years that I've picked this up. Unusual because I whitewater canoe and kayak, have no proble pointing my noggin straight down hill on a pair of skis or on a mountain bike, etc..... So I really think it is a control thing... or I'm not in control thing because the horse has a mind of its own that just doesn't jive with mine. I still give it a go once or twice a year at a family members farm. On just such a quarter horse - Black Bart, but he's a sweety I think.
