I do have one photo that is just of his horse, and that looks like it might have been taken the same day as the other one. And I did mean to post it the same day, and 'messed up.' Most of the pics of great-grandpa aren't with the horse, though I do think I have one or two more. Also have several of the horses my mom grew up with, and none of the ones my dad grew up with. I will post one of my mom's older brother and his horse Golden River soon. My uncle was quite a guy, and I loved him dearly. I was 'horse crazy' growing up, but we didn't have any, and my dad wouldn't let me have one. My husband bought me one before the kids came along, so I finally got my horse. She was a bit more than I was experienced enough for, but we managed o.k.. I will hunt up some of those pics and post them here as well! She was half-Arab, half Saddlebred, and had a gait that was a pleasure to ride. She had worked cattle at her previous owners, but the only cows we could have used her with were my father-in-laws, and they weren't used to horses, so we never did after the one time I tried to herd some that were 'out' back in. They went back OVER the fence, they were that scared of her. So, I didn't try that again. I will try to do that this week, Joan, and thank you for stopping by.

I just remembered, I have another pic of just the horse in harness, and I should have posted this one, too. Rats! I bet you are also right about the being dressed up part. He might have been headed to town. He also blacksmithed, and should have added that as well, but know he lived on a farm for awhile not so far from where I grew up. I've not seen even one picture of him in anything but a suit. Interesting thought. But then, most pics were taken when families gathered for get-togethers of some sort, and that would even include funerals... Georgous horse is right!
