It is made of two large pieces front and back that go to about the knees and two piece that attach and extend the dress to the ankles. I used thongs thru antler buttons with red and blue crow beads to attach them to the upper part so they could be removed if she wanted. The antler buttons have to go. Any recommendations what to replace them with? Square pieces of red trade cloth? How about the crow beads?

I would like to try horse flesh myself just to say I had, but at 17 he is likely to be beyond his prime. Can’t you get a younger problem horse we could eat? Lee Newbill wrote: This old horse (17 or so), is just twitchy.  Has been since he was a foal.  I've sacked him before, but I think there are no branches on his family tree.  It's probably the Thourghbred in him. Funny how one person talks about quarter horses using thoroughbred breeding to “Put inteligience into the bred,” while others cuss the foolishness of the cross. At any rate, by that age I would not expect to change an ingrained personality trait, but you maybe could improve a bad thing. Using the bosal or similar equipment to teach the whoa and demand that he stay planted might help save your catch pen during the lessons. Horses are in fathomable. There is always something more to learn about them, or at least I hope so since that is part of my fascination with them. This last weekend my 2 year old mule gave me an education in light hands. If I really work hard to use my cues properly she stays collected and will do whatever I ask, but if I start thinking that the slack rein and asking are not that necessary (I’ll make her turn or stop attitude) she’s pretty good at humbling me. Good luck with your problem child.

I personally have never seen a reference to them as used. they would have been way to hard to make in the field or at camp with out a saw. I would not have tried to carry a saw. If I needed a button I would have used a wood tong carved with a knife. Or a green bone.

One still soft and more easily worked than a "old" dry one. My thoughts, was that type of button used at that time ? If so they might have been obtained by trade with the Indians (if they made them), or at "rondy". $00.02 - --- Victoria Pate wrote: > > Mr. Klesinger, > > What is a green bone? > > Thanks, > Victoria > > On Tue, 9 Oct 2001 11:56:59 -0600 "Bill Klesinger" > > writes: > > > If I needed a button I would have used > > a wood tong carved with a knife.
