My friend Mike Jones issued a challenge to post a photo from the 1980s era. It took some digginig to find a couple, but thought I would play along.
These were taken in May of 1986 when I had 200 acres in central Florida. My passion was (and still is) horses ... well, any animal really.
This fine looking fella is Chub. Chub was an AQHA registered gelding and was the absolute best horse I ever owned. Or better yet ... he was the best owner I ever had. He was kind, patient, attentive, quick, well mannered and could work cows like no other animal I've ever seen. Chub also enjoyed his turn at a set of barrels from time to time. ;)
I miss this guy. He was 24 years old when he passed away from a stomach cancer, yet he never had a foul day. We should all be so lucky.
Even a city girl can be taught. LOL
