     This world is too cluttered.  I don’t mean clutter like the trash you see thoughtless people throw on our roadways.  I mean the technical marvels that have been invented since Edison, the Wright boys and Werner began experiments that led to marvelous inventions that have changed our world.  I know light bulbs and airplanes and rockets make things easier and faster for humans but they’ve also made it more complicated.

    The technical marvels that have become a main ingredient of our society have required us to constantly seek more knowledge and education.  Our brains can only store so much information at one time without a plain old rest. 

     If you have one of those lifestyles that keep you running at high speed to keep up with the competition, you might just need a few hours of R & R in the saddle. 

     Ride along with the author as he clears the clutter and refreshes his outlook.  Being horseback, checking cows and fences, returns him to an enjoyable world that soothes the nerves and bleeds tension from his body with each creak of the saddle.  A saddle is more than a piece of tack.  It can be a personal friend that gives comfort and therapy when you need it the most.

 

This column will be enjoyed by all.
