In today’s Equine world there is a multitude of talent of both the horse and horseman. Through the knowledge handed down from thousands of years of experience, techniques and training methods, the horseman of today has reached an all time high of professionalism. Uses developed for the horse of today have also reached an all time high. He is bred and trained to perfection for a multitude of uses. Racing, cutting, endurance, rodeo events, jumping, pleasure, show etc. but one horse stands out above all others in his diversity; the real working cow horse. This animal is required to perform a multitude of tasks where all others are generally trained for a specific use. His job requirements to name a few, are to race, cut, jump, pull, pack, rope, rein, and endure in all kinds of weather, terrain, and condition. And many times required to perform these tasks all in the course of one day. No other equine athlete is required to perform such a rigorous commission while serving as an essential tool.
"Pooped" was created in honor of this equine aristocrat, depicting the typical ruggedness of the species after a long hard day has come to an end. Drawn, and almost too tired to eat, he yawns as he stands in front of his only reward. Although brushed and curried, sweat stains still mark the grueling work of his employment. The real working cow horse is truly my equine hero.
