Got My Harness

Wed Jan 31, 2007

Or Quzqo's, more specifically!

It arrived yesterday, off of eBay, and it is KEWL!!! Even though it's relatively inexpensive, and made in India, it's VERY well made, and the leather is VERY nice! I'm impressed!!

It's got silver hardware, which matches the silver bling bling on the browband and the little dangly thing between the blinkers. It doesn't have the bling ON the blinkers (bling-kers?) like Tezlu's harness had, but oh well.

Coos tried on the saddle/bellyband last night after I got done riding him (he was a canterin' fool!), and I'll have to punch a couple more holes...luckily there's plenty of leather left for that.

Ground-drove him around the aisles again, because Bob's daughter & her idiot cowboy boyfriend were rampaging around IN the arena. Coos was actually pulling and I had to step it up to keep up with him, LOL! I think he's getting "into" it, because I had a heck of a time getting him to WHOA when we got back to the tack rooms!

For the record, the Big Mean Horse kept himself inside the stall every time we went by, LOL!!!

Next...the crupper!

Had a huge laugh at "Cowboy Brian" (the boyfriend)...he is such an ASS! He was riding Bob's new mare, that lovely Grulla from Minnesota. GAD, I hope he didn't wreck her...he was hauling on her face, she had her head up, back hollowed, tail wringing, jigging and going side-ways. Now when Bob's daughter rode her a couple weeks ago, she was smooth, rounded, VERY nice and pretty. Grrrr, pissed me off!

Well, I didn't see exactly what happened because I was bent over, reaching for Quzqo's hoof, but the mare apparently took off bucking, threw Cowboy Brian off, and managed to shake off her bridle as well, and went galloping/bucking around the arena!!! LOL! What a dumb ass!!! (Cowboy Brian, of course).

So the idiot manages to catch her (luckily she had a rope halter on under the bridle), ties her to a post, and LEAVES HER! Great way to REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR you dumb shit! Congrats...that mare just learned you can buck the monkey off, and they leave you alone!!!

After about 10 minutes he came back, wielding a lasso, like he was going to rope her! Bob's daughter barked something emasculating at him, and he put the rope away. Dumb fool! She has his testicles in a lock box, that's for sure!

He did get back on the mare, the man rides like Quasimodo!!! The mare took off buck-running again, but he managed to stay on, and after a bit of choppy trotting around the arena, gave up.

I hate Cowboys.
