We thought we had them pretty worn down, so we unhooked the tractor., They had enough in them for a 5 minute burst. Stuntman looked like he was in an old movie with a runaway team

I hope I can ride both of them. The sorrel has been in Co for ten days with no problems then she sat for a while as my back was out. She has some snap as the Amish would say. The black one we are just breaking now, been up and down on his back with no problems.I like to drive and pack them it takes a lot of spookiness out of them. Then if we don't work them to hard I put the saddle on and do a little ground work and climb on their back for a while.
