Reminds me of the old-timer (I think he just died, and I'm having a
"some-timers" moment, because I can't remember his name--Maria?? can you
help??) from the Midwest who did trail courses bridle-less, over popping
balloons in a rocker bridge and past chain saws.  And I'll never forget my
husband carrying a chain saw out with him on the saddle, while riding my
stallion Abu Ben Surrabu ("Junior") and starting the darn thing up while in
the saddle, and proceeding to saw an overhead limb that he couln't reach
from the ground.  We've also packed several of our Arabs, mostly salt to
range cows or trail clearing equipment, but including packing a humongous
buck deer on Junior, on a riding saddle, rack and all....  Gotta love 'em.
