There are still a lot of saddle horses, but most of them exist not out of necessity, but as a hobby or pastime for their owners. Some of the cattlemen still work saddle horses, but not the way they used to. If they need to check on their cows up on the mountain or out in Sinbad, they load the horse into a pickup or and head for the cows are. Then they unlaod the horse, ride for an hour or two a few hours at most load the horse again, and drive back home. Perhaps theyve used up a day, perhaps only a short portion of the day. Not too many years ago, if they wanted to check their cows on the range, it meant loading up a packhorse as well as a saddle horse & spending several days at the task.

You could hear the herd long before it got into town, and for a mile or two after it left town. The calves bawling, and their mothers bellering in reply. Same with sheep. It seemed that some of the big herds used to take an hour or so to move through town.

But other times a usually calm team would spook at something and take off on a dead run. Once they broke loose, it was almost impossible to stop them.
