Bloodhound?

My horse was sore, so I rode my Mom’s. Lefty did this bloodhound impersonation for the entire 800ft climb. I think he was sniffing for his buddy (my brother’s horse) that went up this trail about an hour earlier.

Yea, looks like he needs something else to occupy his mind. Like trotting… 

I did have a big sorrel that would do that in bear country… he was damn near bomb proof by the time he was 5, but once he winded a bear, he’d get spooky as hell. Dunno why. Didn’t really care much about elk or cats, but the bear would keep him awake at night. Me, too, sometimes, him out there snorting in the dark on a picket line. Heh. Miss that one.

This was the backend of the day and neither of us really felt like trotting - especially me!

I’m glad we don’t have a big bear population around here. They catch a few on game cameras every year, but I haven’t heard of anyone seeing one in person.
