Roy Rogers’ Prayer

Roy Rogers and his wife, Dale Evans, were devoted Christians. Below is a prayer written by Roy.

Lord, I reckon I’m not much just by myself,
I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.
But Lord, when trails are steep and passes high,
Help me ride it straight the whole way through.

And when in the falling dusk I get that final call,
I do not care how many flowers they send,
Above all else, the happiest trail would be,
For YOU to say to me, “Let’s ride, My Friend.”
Amen
Roy Rogers

Ever want to have Horsey Legs?

Seattle artist Kim Graham made herself a pair of horsey legs, and now she’s making more to sell. They’ll cost you about $1000 with the optional spring loaded hooves.

So with the “King’s Horses” that I have, I look at the walk everyday, and now I see how this was done. Looks super cool to me. Now I wonder how fast you could run in these legs, and how big a header you’d take if you fell down. Also I wonder what kind of impact absorber is at the base of the “Hoof” here. I’d expect also a non-slip hoof base. The bottom of a horse’s foot has a frog “V” in the bottom that pumps blood thru the foot and also the hoof is flexible. It is not a rock hard thing and it isn’t a rubber like foot either on a real horse. So now I am interested in how she designed the hoof on her Horsey Legs. Also I wish her good luck, but $1000 is way too much for me, but for custom work it could well be worth it. I hope the build quality is worth everything you pay for here.

Of course you could just build your own!
