Idiot Boy? You should be flogged. So you just figured out that your horse belonged to an Indian in a previous life? :) My G/F is always busting my chops about doing things like mounting , dismounting and putting on the saddle on the off side. "What the H.....you think you're an Indian?" I always say. "Nope, but when you have to get on the off side or go off a cliff and you and your horse don't know how, I wanta be around to see the show."

Subject: [RC] standing to mount
Idiot Boy often will not stand for me to mount, especially if we are out on the trail in the middle of a ride and I've gotten off to adjust tack. After trying repeatedly (and failing) to get him to stand near a log so I could re-mount a couple of weeks ago, I decided to try mounting from the off side (something I don't usually do). Darned if the Idiot didn't stand good as gold... guess he didn't realize what I was up to! I don't know how long it will take hom to get wise to that trick, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
And the next horse I buy will not be 16.2! Gravity seems to be getting stronger as I get older!
