"...If I had a horse that wouldn't open
a gate and stand there nice and hold it for a dozen horses if need be
WHILE I'M MOUNTED,..."
Part of the problem is that
there are gates and their are gates. Many of the gates we run across out
here are "Montana" gates. They are made from strands of Barbed wire a
fence post and two loops of wire on another post. They can only be opened
or closed on the ground. The Long X ride in ND had gates that were self
closing with a spring and opened vertically. They also could not be
handled from horseback.
