This ranch is hard on horses and Cadillac wouldn't take it easy. The old guy has more heart than 10 horses. I still am looking for my personal horse. I do have a new gelding I like- but he has some probelms. He wants to fight other horses in the pasture-- bad habit. One bite on a back can keep a horse out of work for weeks. So I am still looking.

On the bright side, old Cadillac probably has a few more years in retirement. I haven’t horses since I was a kid, but I’m sure its the same feeling I had when I’ve to retire a dog.

But he deserves a rest and easy retirement. I still haven't found a replacement for him. I have lots of horses - but not MY horse. I'll probably find my next personal horse when I least expect to- that's what usually happens. Meantime Cadillac has his own specially formulated diet, gets brushed and petted daily, and only has to work short,easy days once in a while. Good life for him!

You have to look out for the health of the horse and think about it's comfort as it ages though. I think it would be tough to retire a horse you’ve known and used so well for years.

Though I have yet to find a horse like that for my ranch, my trusty dog had to be put to sleep last year. The trail and the job just has not been the same without her.
