Re: [RC] What IS that peanut rolling all about? - Diane Trefethen> How did that ever come about,anyway? It must have developed originally out of > some real world horsemanship situation,and then gotten out of hand,like the Big > Lick Running Walk did... I'm probably wrong here, but I always thought it was a twofer. #1, when a cowpoke was riding range hunting up strays, it would be easier for him to see any lurkers in the underbrush if his pony's head carriage was low, and #2, when they found a steer, if the pony's head was down so they were eye-to-eye, the pony would be more intimidating so the steer would move off more easily. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
