Cute picture. We tried that once with our cat to a not good result. is that an Aussie saddle?
Thanks for stopping by, Kathy.
I'm sorry, but I'm not a horse person...love them, but really know nothing much about them and even less about saddles and other gear. I'm sure one of the other members will probably know.
Stay safe.

Great capture, Tom.
Thanks, Earnest.
It's certainly a bit unusual. This was shot in front of a real back-woods store where you can get decent food ; hamburgers are great...toasted cheese sandwiches and a pickle ain't bad either. I'm sure you all have seen stores like this one. It's a million miles from anything else and the owner obviously wants to become the Walmart King of the hollows. It has one of everything known to man, but no backup inventory of anything.
When I pulled up in front of the place, the horse and dog were right across the trail. Note that I didn't say "road". The dog was on the ground. When I came out to leave, the dog had ascended to the saddle and the horse had taken to nibbling. I decided to move on, post haste, for I feared if I hung around any longer. I might be exposed to some sort of unnatural animal behavior.

That's a very strange car, Tom.
You know, Mel, I thought so myself. I stared at the both of them for quite some time....trying to determine the truth, car or horse ? Then, the tail of horse shot up. Talk about strutting around...I must have looked like a peacock, feathers poking everywhere. I had made a good call....It was indeed a horse.
I hope this coming year will be great for you and your wife. You two have regalled this forum....letting each one of us experience sights and events that we'll probably never get to see in person. And all of that has been accompanied by a narrative that shines at being both informative and entertaining. I wish it all could go on forever.

The horse could care less about the impertinent dog.
The horse is fine with the dog on his back. You can tell by which way the horse's ears are pointing. They always point in the direction which has their interest, which here is clearly on the ground where he's grazing, not back toward the dog on his back. The dog didn't get there by himself so I'm guessing the horse's owner probably did and a well-broke horse would be OK with that too.
Based on your response to others who have responded, the horse was outside of a local store and I would guess that the owner worked in the store and parked his horse out there to attract attention. Just as guess....
Lucky you for being there at the right time to capture the funny situation.

Yes, Tom, I remember those days, country stores are rare nowadays, unless you live out in the boonies. I use to love going in to them, I grew up in a small town and had some around, they had a certain smell to them.

Hi, Reuss. Thanks for looking in.
It's hard to make a call on whose horse that was. it's not unusual for store patrons who live back in those hollows to show up on their horse.

It's an endurance saddle, no horn but a ridge across the front of the saddle instead. Not as "locked in" as with an Aussie saddle.
