The ugliest horse you'll ever see


This is Billy, as in Idol. He is the ugliest horse I have ever seen. That tail is real, folks. And the mane is just as sparse, but he's a really good ride. He does have an Ugly Man Complex, though, and tends to bite at other horses, so back off. On the way back, we passed by this bison head. The neighbors have bison, and this one likely died of natural causes, but it's been spread a bit by scavengers. The rest of the skeleton was nearby, in different sets of pieces.
We passed through meadows and a forest. The forest was new for me, and it was a beautiful ride.

This was our pit stop on the way to the lunch site. It's an old cabin with a little creek nearby.

This is Tango. He is the second prettiest horse at the ranch. His half sister, Gracie, is the prettiest. I rode Tango today and he's a fabulous ride. He's very smooth, but he did step in a hole on a canter. I almost fell out of the saddle and did lose my stirrup!
