XX on Country Monkey,Reg. QH, 1966

Country Monkey by Country by Rey by Peter McCue....Pete Reynolds had ranches in Tx. & Ala....'nother story...... XX, Weldon Merchant, age 15, note: Bob Marrs Slick-Fork   Saddle & outfit I made, still got. Been train'n by Ed Connell Old Spanish method, awhile.......over 40 years ago....... Worked ride'n fence, had 6-8 horse string, break'n in process, rode 25-35 miles daily, and jack-pot rope'n on week-ends & catch'n wild cows after all others failed for $20-$100.

Last Reg. QH XX owned, give up on 'em when the draft/TB ruined the "Spanish Mustang" in 'em.  If'n they're 2-wide, they'll lodge between trees, adios your knees,   but an ol' cow'll go thru anyplace light'll go...so will a SM, but a fellar'll haveta' ride all over 'em, & ruin a lota' leather & clothes...cause they'll run anything, hunt & track like a hound dog.

"I have made myself what I am."....Tecumseh, 1810

"Not know'n what you're do'n never stopped me, just inspired me...."... XX-Weldon Merchant, 1984

To wild stock & Wild Man, fences ain't never been nothin' but a suggestion.This is my story & I'm add'n to it,.......XX
