But the horses Ive got all have five vertebrae, instead of six like this ones got. Native to Country ? "I think these horses ae native to this country. History says that the native horses all died out and were by the Spanish, he said. But a lot of people are acknowledging that mustangs are a breed in themselves. That same concern for a dwindling breed prompted him to begin raising longhorn cattle, which he claims can become quite tame, despite a reputation for meanness. Those cattle are lough.

In that capacity, and as a concerned citizen, he follows land management controversies like the recent Bureau of Land Management wild horse roundup in the Oquirrh Mountains. It Was Our Money Mr. Gregerson said that a large amount of money was spent on the project, and it was our money, the taxpayers money. There's a bunch of us that have run horses out there for years, he said. There wasnt any reason for the BLM to do it. We would have done it for nothing." Besides what he feels about having his tax money misspent, he said he is being deprived of a legitimate and humane form of recreation, and is being told what he can and cannot do on public lands "Its a sport, good recreation, he said We run 'em, break em and use 4?:' A'v'LS' 1 - n; 900'' a 16 years experience!
