Amos is using the reins. I'm not sure Barney would follow a child's voice. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you can't get a DUI on a horse, unless the horse is also drunk. 1 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sister had a big, powerful horse she rode often. She declared after a fall that broke her arm and collar bone that she’d been indecisive in her input which confused the horse leading them to part ways! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure Barney would follow a child's voice. The Amish neighbor to my north side screams at the mules, it sounds awful. When the kid is working the mules his voice can barely be heard and I think he gets better results. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
