Re: [RC] Grandpas - rides2far

My grandpa taught me one thing about horses. My pony kept jumping the
fence. His advice was to put a leather strap around her ankle, hooked to
a 2' long piece of log chain. That way if she galloped, it would wrap
around her other leg and throw her down. Great advice hu? He said it
didn't work on mules. They walk right up to the fence and jump from a
stand still. We found out ponies can too. >g< He was a barber by the way.
The main thing I remember about him was that farmers would show up at his
house to get their hair cut on Sunday nights and when he turned on the
clippers the TV screen had snow and we couldn't watch the Wonderful World
of Disney. Boy did we hate that!
