Horses Know Who's the Boss of Them:

Absolutely!

In the early 70s, my pardner & I were playing at a hotel in Missoula, MT. We made a deal w/ a local stable owner in East Missoula to trade free rides for on-stage plugging his stable.

The first day we went riding, both horses headed off the road into the tall grass, lowered those beautiful heads, and commenced to eatin'

A person is just not strong enough to pull a horses neck up when the horse don't want to.

So, we spent the next two hours aboard horseflesh while they ate . . . much to the amusement of the passers by.

Not cool, no matter how much pretending we did that we'd done the choosing to let 'em graze.

Hi Yo Silver,
