A Poor Craftsman Always Blames His Tools. Drugstore Cowboy Roy Moore Blames Reporters For Horse.

Drugstore cowboy Roy Moore blames reporters for startling his horse, then rides off with all the poise of a sack of potatoes slung onto the back of a flatbed truck. Problem is, he's riding a gated horse. Gated horses are bred for generations to be easy to ride. When an amusement park roadie propped you up on top of a horse at the age of five, for a two bit ride around a dude ranch...that was a gated horse. Only a complete clown (literally a rodeo clown) would have trouble riding one.

Barely being able to ride a gated horse in front of a gaggle of reporters is the equivalent of Moore falling off a tricycle fitted with TWO sets of training wheels. What a clown. All hat and no cattle.

Not to mention his reigns... where to start where to start?

Poor horse. Wish that little paint would have bucked him.

I used to ride, back in the day, and I could hear my riding instructor(s) shouting in my head. And if you're in tune with the horse, s/he responds to a shift in weight. He looks like he's about to slide off! Poor confused horse.
