Mark Cortner, old friend and variously biologist, cowboy, rancher, farmer, and fine gun nut– (we have traded various things including guns, books, and horses since Betsy was alive) stopped by just before sundown with Harry the Peruvian paso, one of the nicest horses I know. I still get jealous every time I see a gaited horse, and Harry is a sweetheart besides. He is not just a pet either; Mark used to rope off him routinely.
Like me and Steve Grayson, and one other friend I know in town, Mark is a 1950 baby. We feel the mortal breeze on the back of our necks. And I was and am the oldest…
Isn't it great to live in a place where someone can ride to your front door on horseback?
Peruvian Pasos are wonderful. There's a couple down the road who have a Paso operation — they're all good-tempered horses. The woman shows em and the fella uses em for mounted archery.

"The fella uses em for mounted archery."
I would like to know more about THAT, Jim.
Yeah, Jim–me too! Sounds like a future "Frontier Partisans" post!…L.B.
