Another of my relatively early painting.  And speaking of early work, this was the normal start of the day for ranch hands in most of the cowboy communities.  There was a buncha work to do just to get ready for the day and arrive at this point.  A good part of the preparation time was spent catching the horse and getting a saddle on and cinched down.  Never mind having to get on and convince the knot-head that he was going to cooperate - so settle down and accept your fate, you danged, hard-headed, four legged bag of crow bait.

Atsa'boy!  You're Good horse!
