[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1227692, member: 74276"] That is one of the most colorful descriptions of how one may see a horse I've ever had the pleasure of reading! "Maybe he is just a big dumb creature that doesn’t understand what I have been saying. Maybe he really doesn’t give a **** about trying to coexist or pleasing me." The way he wrote about what one's experiences could be with a horse on the trail had me crying and giggling like a fool in the office today. I thoroughly enjoyed the article and am sad to see Mr McMurphy is no longer with us. I've never had the experience of riding an outfitter's horse, but can completely understand everything he described in this article. I prefer mustangs and burros for trail riding and believe they are better equipped for this purpose. They have a greater ability to think independently of the rider - keeping both safe on the trail, better feet = I never shoe mine, and in my experience - are much quieter. The only thing better than a mustang on the trail is probably a mule, but they're much harder to train and impossible to force into doing something they're against. [/QUOTE]
