{Background question} [[inaudible]] the rodeo riders the worst horse ever?

[00:02:47]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}

Well that's quite a question, alright, I've talked to several boys that run way back

[00:02:51]

like a horse like Steamboat was

[00:02:53]

there was very few people that ever made a ride on Steamboat, from what he, that was before my time.

[00:02:58]

But, there was very few that ever contested him very good

[00:03:01]

that as a -- made, you know, the champion on him or anything.

[00:03:07]

There's been a lot of horses, yeah, that stand out better than some of the rest

[00:03:10]

But I think, I dunno, what do you think about that Duff?

[00:03:14]

You, you heard a lot about Steamboat.

[00:03:17]
{SPEAKER name="Duff"}

Yeah, well that's a--just running through my mind, right today

[00:03:22]

There's some awful good bucking horses that really buck, but

[00:03:26]

I don't know if; I don't know of any that's never been ridden yet.

[00:03:31]

The young cowboys, they seem to; seem to be a little tougher than the horses are raised nowadays

[00:03:37]

But there are, maybe to answer your question

[00:03:40]

There, there are quite a number of bucking horses that these guys like to draw

[00:03:45]

Because they really buck and they know they can win money on them if they get 'em rode.

[00:03:50]

They don't always get 'em rode, they get bucked off a lot of times

[00:03:54]

{Question asked in background} Has the breeding improved? Now are they breeding bucking horses better now than they were 40 years ago, 50 years ago?

[00:04:01]

{SPEAKER name="Duff"}I don't, I don't think there are

[00:04:02]

I don't. I think they used to have better quality bucking horses

[00:04:05]
I let Ken and Glenn comment on that

[00:04:09]

and the reason I think they used to

[00:04:11]

'cause a good Bucking horse has to be quite a big horse

[00:04:14]

and active. So years ago they, they still had lots of work horses

[00:04:19]

draft horses that they worked in the fields

[00:04:22]

and uh, like for instance

[00:04:23]

If you crossed them with a good thoroughbred stud

[00:04:26]

you got a big active, uh, horse

[00:04:29]

and if he was inclined to buck why, he was sure a bucking horse

[00:04:33]

but the stock are a little smaller nowadays 'cause they don't have this draft horse blood in them like they used to

[00:04:40]

{Background question} May I ask a question? [[inaudible]]
