Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

In a sign of America's growing girth, dude ranches and hunting camps in the Northern Rockies are adding heavyweight horses and super-large saddles to seat swelling numbers of outsized clients.
"To put it bluntly, we call them the big-butt saddles," said Lee Hart, owner of Broken Hart Ranch in Montana. The business near Yellowstone National Park seasonally provides trail rides and guided hunting by horseback to nearly 2,000 people from across the country.
The only response needed is face palm pics.

I cant imagine trying to get somebody into the saddle that needs an 18"+ western. It would take a freakin crane!

they probably have to use morgans, percherons, or clydsdale horses. those are about the only horses strong enough to carry some of the lardbutts i've seen. worst i ever saw was on a city bus. from the waist up, she was a little heavy. but from the waist down, she filled over two seats of a 3 seat row. when she was standing, you could set a ring of cans all the way around her, without any falling off. and to top it off, she was talking about how fat someone else was.

The article states they're mixing the regular trail horses with draft horses for these purposes.
