I had the chance to ride a retired calf roping champion in Hawaii. I didn't know the had a big beef industry there. My horses name was 6 cause that was the record time for calf roping. He was very responsive and quick. We got to gallop going back to the stable. Man.
We had horses growing up. We boarded them with a family friend who was the on site caretaker for the Kansas Governor's mansion. Lots of acres those horses had a good life.
