[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3836432, member: 45328"] Irregardless of what the movies patray, old timers east, and west, that depended on animals for transportation, used mules, and gated horses, far more than we know. In mountainous terrine, Mules are far more sure footed, and less excitable as a rule! To travel gated horses Tennesee Walkers, American Saddle Horses, and literally dozens of others, some of which have been forgotten, were used by anyone that could afford a Cadilac, instead of a Model T Ford! When I was a young teenager our neighbor had an old Tennessee Walker stud, that was over 20 years old. This neighbor was old, and in poor health, and he ask me to ride this stud because he needed exercise. I jumped all over this, this was down in the Ozarks, and I rode him a couple of time a week for a long time. there would be 15 or 20 boys on horses at times, every type horse you can imagine, most not very expensive, just poor kids, including me. This Ol stud was a GENTLEMAN!! Once saddled you would never know he was a stud horse, when riding with mares. We just rode the back roads, and this Ol horse would be singlefooting, so smothly you could have drank a cup of coffee without spilling it, while all the other horses were in a fast lope, and jarring the riders teeth out! That expedience sold me on gated horses! [/QUOTE]
