“I’ve always said, ‘What does it take to make a good hand?’” Tom Moorhouse asks. “Paying attention. You can be the best roper or bronc rider or cowboy in the world, but if you don’t pay attention it won’t do you any good. Just like driving a car. If you don’t pay attention to the road, you’re not a good driver.”

Baxter Black's final column: A horse matters
Posted Wednesday, January 5, 2022 2:58 pm
By Baxter Black
I like living someplace where a horse matters.
There is just some country where horseback is the only way to get the job done. Places where the four-wheeler is a poor second, not to mention a noisy, track-leaving unnatural conveyance. Besides, it’s hard to throw a rope from.
Helicopters can spot and scare, if that’s what you need, but it’s helpless when you have to doctor a calf. It is a great feeling to be pushing a cow out of a mesquite thicket, packing a dude down the Grand Canyon or tracking a mountain lion on a high ridge, knowing you’re on the perfect tool for the job. You look at a horse different when he’s on the payroll.
I like being a person to whom a horse matters.
It puts me in such good company, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Rudyard Kipling, Ray Hunt, Queen Elizabeth, Jerry Diaz, Casey Tibbs, cowboys, Mongols, Gauchos, teamsters, Lipazzaners and vaqueros of all kinds. Granted being a horse person doesn’t make me easier to get along with, better at spelling or richer. It simply gives me a direct connection to one of the most ancient, mutually beneficial interspecies relationships on the planet.
Winston Churchill said, “There is something about the outside of a horse, that is good for the inside of a man.”
I like being there when a horse matters.
When you can’t do the job alone; a cow in the bog, a race against time, a boulder to move, a detour to take, a mountain to cross, a crevice to leap, a war to win, a sweetheart to impress, or...when you’ve gone too far to walk back.
Shakespeare’s King Richard III said when fate hung in the balance, “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”
I’ve also come to believe that you either are a horse person or you aren’t. Many who are, never know it because they never have the chance. It’s a primitive acceptance, often mutual. A lack of fear. You see it in some children when they are first introduced to the horse. It always gives me a sense of wonder to be there and help them make their acquaintance. I believe the horse can sense the child’s innate trust. It is the beginning of a natural bond.
I count myself very lucky that I get to be a part of the wonderful world of horse sweat, soft noses, close calls and twilight on the trail.
I like living a life where a horse matters.

Gus is available and priced to sell! For anyone who has followed me for sometime knows I have taken Gus everywhere, he is seasoned and ready to go!
This horse lives for speed events and is youth suitable for someone 13- older needing a step up horse 😃
From small jackpots to big coliseum runs he’s your guy.
He’d be down for match racing too I’m sure 😏
He’s listed on barrel horse world.

Some horses you just stick it out for. They teach you perseverance, how to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, forget what’s behind and keep your eyes ahead.
About 5 years ago Dr. Hanselman saved this horse’s life. He’d severely severed his front extensor tendons and the owners were going to put him down. Gus is a tattooed off the track registered Quarter Horse. His pedigree is loaded with speed and ability, but no one knew it at the time. Dr. Hanselman took him and put him back together again and gave me a shot with him and I’ve worked on him hard for 2 years or so. He’s not always been consistent and he’s not easy to ride but he is fast and he likes his job. He ran in the 1D at last weeks race and after trying bit after bit, JD bits made him a rig and I’d say it’s working. He’s started to run really neat and consistent the last couple months.
Sometimes you take a chance just because you can.
Dr. Hanselman is a dedicated vet and he went the extra mile for Gus. Thank you for doing what you do Doc!

The city folks think it’s all over
The cowboy has outlive his time
An old worn-out relic, a thing of the past
The truth is he’s still in his prime — Hats Off to the Cowboy, Red Steagall
