[RC] I guess I'm really spoiled............. - Mickey WomackI have been reading
all the posts about "exit stage left" and wondering how I ended up with such a
great horse!
I have never been
thrown, bucked or otherwise due to him being spooked.
He has side stepped
quickly at times or refused to get too close to something but never anything to
get me off balance.
I was running
barrels one day and leaned to far and started falling.........as soon as I lost
my balance he slowed down and as I fell, he stopped. When I hit the ground
he was at a full stop. Good thing...........I fell off to the left and my
left foot was stuck in the stirrup. He just stared at me like I was some
freak!
We were trail riding
with 5 other "young" girls (under 20) and ran into a huge hive of bees.
They attacked all of us AND the horses..........so badly that one of the mares
wouldn't walk back to the barn (over 150 stings!). Tuffy never bucked,
bolted, or reared.........he did some fancy footwork but stopped long enough for
me to get off - literally rip off his saddle and blanket - and let him run back
to the barn. But he wouldn't leave me, so instead we used him to coax the
badly injured mare back to the barn. He really is an incredible
horse!!
I am SO LUCKY to
have such a great horse!!!
Yes, he has his days
when he goes left even though I asked him to go right, or he runs me into
barrels...........but he does take good care of me and tries to make sure I stay
on top!
He's an eight year
old paint quarter horse with so-so conformation and a lean build for a quarter
horse. Not a real looker but a FANTASTIC horse!!!
