One of my husbands horses was named Rowdy. Well Rowdy was a wonderful quarter horse stallion with his own twisted sense of horse humor. Rowdy would love to go for rides with my husband, however not my husbands father.
In fact Dad got a free ejector seat on the ground from Rowdy on more than one occasion, as this stallion would buck him off. Oh well, Dad was warned, you can't ride a horse like you ride a donkey nor a mule. Dad should never have worn spurs around a horse that didn't like jewelry!
Rowdy loved the water and would enjoy his time swimming in the Rio Grande.
Rowdy met his demise, as most stallions meant for breeding sniff out the finer things in their life, only this wasn't a horse he was after. The person who Rowdy had affections for, felt threatened by Rowdy's advances and fought back...poor Rowdy never stood a chance.
Rasty was a farm horse a Morgan to be exact. He pulled the field equipment around on a farm in Old Bargersville, Indiana. What a good name Rasty had, as it was his owners nickname and also the name of the owners dog!! Well atleast that way no one could forget the name of the two animals. The three of them would go off for rides together in the downtime of the farm. Some of the old timers around that area of the land still can talk about how Rasty named all his favorite animals by his own nickname, it's still a good joke to this day.
Rasty stayed on the farm until he met his natural demise in 1917. Rasty remains on that farm to this day, under a very old Black Walnut tree. One of his shoes is still kept for luck to this day!
The old farm where Rasty lays, is off Banta Rd. in Old Bargersville. Banta Rd., is the dividing line between Johnson County and Marion County, Indiana.
