Big, hairy monsters!! There's a guy up the road from us that uses buffalo for cutting too - Jim Spence - he's a reiner trainer. I'm glad you had fun. I'd like to try cutting something slow on Harley. He likes to sit his rear end down and do pretty little turns - it would be fun to try! Neither one of us has any experience though - we'd need some lessons for sure. Maybe someday...C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-26625130194526183252009-04-04T13:17:00.000-07:002009-04-04T13:17:00.000-07:00I worked buffalo on Coyote Belle's mama years ago,...I worked buffalo on Coyote Belle's mama years ago, loved it! They do last longer than cows, but if you get a rank one, they'll go right through your horse.

I hope to get a chance to work "Willis" on them real soon. Girl, camera, take pics! Jeez work with us here! LOL! I've done that a bunch. I like to have pics to look at as well, to look at how I was riding, the horse, etc. <BR/>Can't wait to see pics!
