He truly was a horse who looked out for his rider. I never worried when our boy was out on him. Jason died last December at the age of 25. Lots of tears shed over him. He was a very special horse.Pegg Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113756304449398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-11330675752865284082015-05-22T15:44:45.562-04:002015-05-22T15:44:45.562-04:00Oh wow!

The hackamore's earliest origins are a bit fuzzy, but it seems likely that the Spanish adapted something the Native Americans were using when they caught and tamed the horses the Spanish had left behind. <br /><br />The carriages known as hacks are short for hackney have been around since at least the early 1600s. There is also a breed of horse called Hackney which was developed in Pegg Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113756304449398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-28225623251042463832015-05-22T14:20:38.587-04:002015-05-22T14:20:38.587-04:00Great post, Pegg!

I never had to worry about coyotes on the property with him out there, or stray dogs. But the time he tangled with a porcupine cost me a vet bill!<br />Pegg Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113756304449398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-37539609478437131142015-05-22T12:29:32.011-04:002015-05-22T12:29:32.011-04:00I know what you mean!

Now I'm not saying that our horses don't care and love us, but they aren't going to think of your safety when an animal attacks or something, prey instinct is going to kick in and there is no way that horse is thinking of you now. I get jealous of these characters with the perfect animals. ;PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346074592622433791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-36723917821682212292015-05-22T11:51:55.933-04:002015-05-22T11:51:55.933-04:00Oops!
