crying.............well, thanks. that was a hard story to hear. And I thought it was just gonna be a nice little chat to where he'd go and walk us through a little adventure or ten, and it would be a fairytale ending. But, I guess reality has always been it's a rough ride for many, and gets hard in life more often than not. And rarely has some beautiful blissful end. But , I'm thankful that you shared with us, and I know that we aren't alone and that others have been through it too. Sometimes worse than we have. But God bless you, and yours, and I hope you get to see him again in heaven. Where you won't be worried, about wolves, or coffin bones.
That sad story happened July 2004. We were walking the trail in a bit from the trailhead that day and packed in the next day. My husband, young daughter and I were walking down to the creek and you were above us on the trail. We followed you out and saw the sorrel's hoof in the trail. You all were loading up the sorrel in the trailer when we got to the trailhead and you looked grief stricken.
Thank you for your story. I get a tiny inkling of the privilege you must feel you have experienced to live with horses. I say an inkling because I got the chance to ride a mare back in ‘82 and ‘83 with the brand “Poco D 123”. She was a trail horse at summer camp where I worked in East Texas. I wasn’t much of a rider like my daddy was, but I appreciated her structure and demeanor. Unfortunately, she did not pass that bit on to her daughter, Fair Warning. That one eyed a buddy of mine and landed a solid kick right on his sternum. I didn’t see the kick, but I did see the horseshoe impression on his chest. You wouldn’t know where I could learn more about Poco D 123, would you? She was special. I took her out alone once there for a long ride and knew it was a once in a lifetime.
I and my dad raised Joe Hancock foundation aqha horses and they never bucked but had a good disposition. Now, Music Mount horses were always buckers as are Poco Bueno's. But you want a good horse, you get a Chicaro Bill bred horse! Usually are line backed, red duns with a blazed face and 4 stockings, if you can find them. Heavy muscled horses. Probably the Billings sale will find you some of those old foundation horses or around Riverton.p The mare btw, will throw your conformation and disposition. The stud throws your size and speed. My family comes from Jackson and if you want to prove me wrong, go over to Irwin and there's some very nice Hancock horses and a older Hancock stud with bloodlines all the way back to Joe Hancock and Red Man. Fella's name is Darrel and he is, Swan Valley Outfitters, right on the hiway.

Thank you for the story. They aren’t easy to tell or hear sometimes but you did a great job telling us of the good life he had before his end.
Thank you and your absolutey right. They arnt easy to tell but they need telling. The horses that are great ones in our hearts need remembered.
