A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

So a Cruper teaches you how to buck eh?

The horse that only bucked like a little rocking horse, back and forth, like a little ship on the ocean, has learned how to buck for real.  I put a super cruper on him to get him to loosen up his back end, and what do I get?  I nast horse that tries to bronc me right out of the arena!  Oh yeah, he was nasty!  Cow kick, hop curl... BUCK!  Nothing like he used to do... no, I don't know where it came from!  I didn't know he had it in him!  Lucky for me, I have velcro on my butt, so I stayed right in the saddle.   And I eventually won the fight, and he finished his ride off real nice like :)  Still having the cut in problem when I go to the left.  The bad knee just cant support his girth and push him out.  :(
