Thank you CBD. I love Remington, and I really miss the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, that has a great collection of Remington and Russell paintings and sculpture. Remington especially understood the cowboy and his horse, and their relationship on the open range. Beautiful piece.

Remington, odd that you should bring this up. Just yesterday, in the thread about the Worcestershire house with the Worcestershire chimneys, I was going to mention the Remington House which I thought was in Oklahoma. But my memory failed me because apparently what I was thinking was the Winchester house in California. A house under construction for humna er mumble years because the lady of the house was told by a fortune teller that if she ever stopped construction on her house, she would die.

Eromero, you and my husband and daughter would get along smashingly. They love Westerns. I get to hear Lonesome Dove quotes so much that I can quote it, and I haven't seen it.
I appreciate them, but don't really enjoy watching them so much. But I would definitely love to be out on the open range, watching the storms roll in, or riding the fences. I hated doing that as a kid, and now, I'd give just about anything to be back doing it.

Smith Wesson joke reminds me. Couple days ago, NPR had a weepy story about safety-ring user-only pistol systems, and why dum 'ol NRA types are a-skeered to try them. Although they did admit that they usually don't work, they failed to mention the several laws that make them mandatory once they enter the market.
But never mind that. They opened with a reference to "General" Colt, who made men equal. Which lent a lot of credibility, NPR-level, to the rest of the story. Posted by: Stringer Davis at April 12, 2016 10:49 AM (xq1UY) 72

Factual background of this painting, the ill-behaved horse was named Kasich and her rider was in denial about both the horse and his own skill, ended up getting dragged to death and then the horse died a day or so later in the desert, too stupid to stop running and dragging all that baggage behind.

Here's another talking point, endlessly repeated:
Kasich is campaigning in NY saying that he'd never sign one of these religious liberty bills, that we should just move on and get along. The irony is that NY already has one. It was included in NY's gay marriage legislation which got adopted in 2011. Before Justice Kennedy wrote his fortune cookie gay marriage opinion, a few states had passed gay marriage legislation but these statutes routinely included provisions like Georgia's Religious Liberty Bill. Thus, gays could marry but if you said you had a religious objection you didn't have to bake them a cake, etc. So now, thanks to Kennedy's 57-state legislation, we don't have a modicum of balance. And gays have proven to be lousy winners. Unfortunately, this is why we have to fight for every yard. And what happens when squishes like Kasich are put in charge.

I have several Remington bronzes (repro, of course). One of them, "Wicked Pony", is a cowboy on the ground, still trying to get control of the horse that's thrown him to the ground. The attention to detail is amazing; the horse's asshole is pooched out from the exertion. Russell's good, but Remington was a god.

Horses were native to the Americas but the Indians hunted them to extinction rather than domesticate and use them.

I think you got bad info on horses PoP. The Spanish brought then over in the 16th century. Indians were thrilled to have a bigger slave animal than dogs when the loose horses became feral and spread into Indian territory. I'm sure they were stampeding bison off of cliffs for generations before they had the horses though.

To be, well, not fair to the Indians, but to introduce an element of veracity, the horses they et all up were tiny li'l things, way too small to ride. And the people who ate them were an awfully long time ago, perhaps not even the same genetic stock. The plains Indians were relative newcomers. Nobody lived in the Great American Desert (now known as the Breadbasket of The World, but Whitey's Poisoning Us with Gluten) if they hadn't been driven out of somewhere else.

When they ran out of room to walk farther south and ran out of local animals to slaughter they turned to ripping out human hearts for fun.

Posted by: Northernlurker at April 12, 2016 11:38 AM (4rzL1) Tennis shoes, or rubber soled shoes are the absolute worst-they catch on the stirrup and hang up very easily. The Riding boot-either the English style formal boot, or the western "cowboy" boot are better because the leather tends to slide off the leather rather than catch it, in the event you need to "disembark" the animal. Accidents happen, and you can still hang up with boots, but it's less likely to happen. Having good riding lessons before getting on an 800-1000 pound animal is also a good idea. I used to barrel race, and if your horse decides it's not going to do that today, you will not convince it otherwise.

=== Its not a condition of place, but culture. I'm certain there were other steppes cultures in Eurasia that did not domesticate the horse, but they're obviously extinct. Also, as for riding, different cultures just did different things. The eskimos used dogsleds, the Sami used reindeer, the hindus used elephants, etc. Use of the horse is something that became dominant over time is all I'm saying.

My mom and her business partner used to raise and train 3-day event and dressage horses. Once a year whether I needed it or not I would go for a ride and once a year I usually ended up on my ass. Horses may be dumb animals but they know when someone doesn't know what the hell they are doing and these were highly trained athletes so they were more than capable of taking me for a ride and depositing me when they were so disposed.

well I retain doubts that modern horses existed in the americas. If they did they would have needed to be hunted to keep from over populating and then running out of forage as they are a lot more difficult prey than a deer or elk.

Only about ten years ago, there were horse censuses reporting that there were more horses here than ever, and all used for recreation. Then the Short, It's Over, Hardly Remember It Recession hit, and horses were being abandoned all over by ruined owners who could no longer afford their upkeep. I have not heard if the population is recovering.
Try to imagine, a little over a hundred years ago, how people would have interpreted that decision. You lose your job, so you give away your horse? We have too many horses roaming the range, and no one is rounding them up to use? Madness, they would say. You people have lost your minds there, in the future.

Anyone notice the new potty thread?
I just want to say... some folks need to know the difference in the words sight, site, and cite! And, no, most of them can't blame autocucumber. Posted by: mindful webworker - so much for this one at April 12, 2016 12:17 PM (RdIBt) Posted by: IP at April 12, 2016 12:17 PM (aQQbl) 291

Two things:
1.) Theodore Roosevelt loved Remington paintings. I have no idea how he felt about Remington rifles. I think there was one with a box magazine he liked. 2.) Seeing the desert reminds me that I can actually go out to the Navy's version thereof when my probation ends, and take those program management jobs offered last year, so the craps ends, period, as of today: the contractors give up on being able to do any kind of initiation or rookie business--no ifs, ands, or buts--and they are cordially invited to take their proper contractor place (didn't have to be this way, but they chose it) and the GS model manager starts acting within Federal guidelines for leadership, and that means no "I'll condescend to the rookie" also. Or else. I earned my wings, I earned my cockpit slot, and I earned my degrees, and they are more than anybody else has. I have more master's than the rest of the team combined, and I presume pointy-nose flight time too. Enough. I'm varsity I'm done being blown off simply because I'm new, and I'm done being patronized. Or else we start going up the hill with complaints, starting with discussions about offensive language.
