[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3780473, member: 5412"] I worked the Osage County Ranches when a kid and found out quickly that you had to make a horse respect you. They will bully someone in a heartbeat and can sense if someone is new to riding. Uncle had a horse that would follow you when quail hunting across his pasture. He wasn't an issue but just wanted company. One day Uncle called and said the horse was impaled on a T post. Post entered its scrotum and was coming out it's back when I drove up. Vet was there along with a gin pole truck that had put some canvas slings under the belly of the horse. Vet gave it a tranquilizer and the gin pole truck lifted the horse off the pole. After examination, and a week or so at the Vets place, he determined no vitals had been damaged and found bird shot in the hind quarters. Evidently some trespassers had been in the field, the horse got in their way and they shot it which resulted in it being impaled on the Tpost, but the gonads had to be removed which later on was found to make that horse crazy. We renamed him no-balls. He would take a saddle, but when getting on he would break into a full run that wouldn't stop until he was exhausted or the rider fell off. We finally found out that putting a hackamore on him to keep the head down would keep him under control and rideable. [/QUOTE]
