............like I promised you, I am giving you the update you requested on me ponying-up".
Let me start by saying that the info given to me from Tobey, Elk Hunter, MD4Me, Shadowrider and many others has been worth more than you could ever know.
I have bought the first of 3 or 4 ponies...
...and yes, I paid too much!
......after looking at over 30 pieces of horse flesh, I bought a registered paint, big and stout, over 16 hands and 1400+ pounds....a wide straight back, and trail and pack proven. I rode this horse in the mountains 4 times before buying him, and I can tell you, he backs away from nothing. He's a cadilac for sure, and his nose for elk drove the price up from $300 to $350!.....he is said to sniff out the elk....sneak you in, then hold his head dead still so you can use the spot between his ears for a rifle rest! ....I figured that was worth the extra $50!....
....but really.....thanks, so much!, to you guys that took the time to answer e-mails on this subject, and the info you gave here on this topic.....
