OK, so Which One of You Cowboys..

Wife was laughing when I got home last night, funny news story it seems. Out west somewhere, a cowboy had ridden his horse and along with two herding dogs, went down to the nearest wal-mart. On his way out, heard someone yelling, "He stole my bike !". So said cowboy vaults into the saddle and the chase is on ! Ends with him calling the police to report a thug in a hoodie is tied to a tree in the wal-mart parking lot. Yup, lassoed, tied and left for pick-up. Think I'll have to pack the lil 44spec Sheriff today instead of the usual Bulldog, just to honor this good man. If anyone can find a link ?

There was a great interview with the guy. Just very down to earth and willing to jump in a gap so to speak and do something instead of just watching.

Just think, some citizen captured a thief without tazeing him or shooting him. Give the police a lasso and some lessons.

Funny thing is the guy had his horse saddled in the trailer do it was just open the back, untie him and away you go. Unless we are going more than a couple hours drive, we always haul our animals saddled with the side skirts and stirrups up on the saddle seat. Back them out, swing the stirrups down and tie up the lead role and ready to ride.

I dont know.... maybe we should go back to tall trees with a short rope.... lot of folks these days think they can run around and do whatever they want without repurcussions.... I figure the best thing folks could do is stand behind law enforcement instead of standing in front of them....
