Hunting on Horseback

Wind decided to buy himself another horse to take hunting this season. Once Wind gets something in his head there is no turning back. He had Kanook, his mustang from his 4-H days, but Wind had gotten too big for him.
He found this "walking horse" (they don't trot but walk very fast or run) Willie, will he walk or will he run. Seth road Kanook. They camped, rode and hunted for 4 days in the Teton mountains. Wind said their hind ends were beyond sore, they were raw and they were sure they were bleeding. One morning Seth came out of the tent to see Wind curled over and falling off Willie. Willie had just bucked and Wind came down on the horn of the saddle. He was sure he was "damaged". Seth walked Kanook right into a mud hole, getting the horse completely stuck. Seth isn't has patient and gentle with the horses. Seth says to us, "Wind is soooo gentle with those horses". Jessica would drive up to see them at their camp. Here she is riding Mark's horse, Cheyenne.
