Then in the evening a deserved ride for recreation into the Hell's canyon...

this is wintersunlight, Galicio's sire. He is from Caballos de Destino and lives on the starflower ranch in Oshoto

Martina on Sir Albert or was it Little Bit...?


Art in the Park - horse legs...
To contiue the discussion: Is it safe to ride amongst wild or feral horses and what is the suggested behavior should one be charged by a stallion, gelding or mare? It will depend on the situation. First be a good rider and have a good horse. Then judge the situation and act accordingly. Aragon feels comfortable retreating but I can also ride him towards an offending individual and assume that the horse will reconsider and retreat. In some cases in Wyoming we took Bullwhips with but used it only once and were not sure whether we needed it. In the Little Bookcliffs we actually rode horses that were previously rounded up and adopted for following roundups and there was no concern. In fact it seemed to have a calming influence on the horses in the capture pens, as long as we did not come too close.
