Horses in Unexpected Places

Martha goes country!! A recent episode of Martha Stewart Living had her spend the day at a guest ranch. After a basic lesson on tacking up, she learned to roll up a duster and mount. The next lesson included roping a bucket as she learned both heading and heeling. Her instructor approved of her technique saying, "A twang from the bucket... that's a good thing!" Finally, Martha participated in cattle drive - along with her instructor and his eight-year old daughter... and three very talented dogs! Quite an accomplishment for just one day!
