He does not trip or stumble, but his front feet do interfere at times. Could this be adjusted or fixed through surgery? He is trimmed on a regular basis and has a very good farrier doing corrective trimming and shoeing. Click here for the answer. SPONSORED BY AMERICA'S HORSE POLL 
In his book, “Best Remudas,” author Jim Jennings takes a look at the first 15 individual winners and discovers what makes each ranch and remuda unique.
There were a lot of jobs on a cattle drive that a cowboy hated to draw, but crossing a river swollen by spring rains, on the down-current side of a herd of Longhorns, pawing for anything dry, was about the worst and most dangerous. But if a cowboy drew it, he gave it all he had. This 17-inch-long Steve Miller bronze sells for $262, plus shipping.

GRIP ON DEMAND
Revolutionary Grip-on-Demand technology takes riding performance to the next level with gripping qualities inspired by polar bear paws. The secret is siping (grooves) in the sole that allow riders to grip the stirrups when the boot is flexed and release them when the sole is flat. In the stirrup or on land, Grip-on-Demand puts you in control like never before. Click here to find out how Grip-On-Demand works and to see all the Justin AQHA Lifestyle Collection boots with Grip-On-Demand technology.
