Back a few decades my wife had a horse that loved cattle. So when we were shuffling along the dusty roads of middle Texas and crossed a cattle guard this horse would bring her head up, collect herself, and start searching for cows. How she loved to make them go where she wanted them. I hope she is always in tall grass and cool evenings.
