The wisdom of the cowboys....

In Colorado, I live deep in the mountains, surrounded with national forests, and hiking and horse riding trails.

The other day I noticed a sign, asking horsemen who ride on these trails, to bring only certified-weed free hay, to feed their horses, so the mountains will not be infested with weeds.

I thought is was very cool, and later that day I got this email from a friend, which had some Cowboy Wisdom in it:


Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.


There's two theories to arguing with a woman....
Neither one works.

Letting the cat outta the bag, is a whole lot easier 'n putting it back in.


If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.


If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.


Be cautious in choosing a mate,
don't go settlin' for one who
can't open the gate.

A mountain lion felt so good after eating an entire bull he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him...........
The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.


Never kick a cow shit patty, on a hot day......and never spit against the wind.


Don't squat with your spurs on.


Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.


It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

Always drink upstream from the herd.


The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over
and put it back in your pocket.



There are three kinds of cowboys: The one that learns by reading.
The few who learn by observation..... And the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
