Wow, that is one special horse. Very good looking too and man, the size of those hooves.

A horse with that kind of courage, willing to be your partner in whatever you ask,
is a rare gift. I'm glad she's bought him. He deserves to live happily ever after.

Oh we went to Whitefish for our honeymoon. We stayed on a beautiful ranch and there were very few guests as it was the start of the season so we got to go trail blazing instead of trail riding.
One day were stopped on a high point to cook our steak for lunch. It was just the head wrangler, my husband and I. The horses were tied to a tree and we were relaxing after our food enjoying the amazing view when we heard a growl from below us. The wrangler shot up from under his hat where he'd been dozing and we all stood there looking over the edge holding our breath. We then heard another growl and the wrangler says sounds like a baby bear. So we ask what to we do if mamma bear comes looking for steak. He say's "If it really is a bear then we leave the horses tied up and run for our lives"
Thankfully there were no further signs that anything was coming to eat any of us! It made me feel lucky to live in Ireland where nothing can eat me or indeed a horse

My great-uncle used to own horses and we used to ride the mountainous wilderness around his farm. One day, we rode on this trail that ran along a stream, and everything was going great until we heard this growl!
Needless to say, we were scared because the growl was loud and close, and the horses galloped a good 300 or so feet, however, the horse my brother was on, shot way a head! My great-uncle, on the other hand, turned around and went to the spot to where we heard the growl. The next thing we heard were gun shots, then we heard my great-uncle and his horse gallop up the trail towards us. It was a mountain lion, but he didn't kill it, he just scared it away. No meal for the mountain lion this time!
