I always, thought their boots weren't broken in, their spurs were clanking together or their chaps were done up to tight. But no, it has to do with their transportation, the -trusty old horse. I've never had a bullet through the shoulder, or held a six-shooter. I've never been inla duel, a round- up, a showdown of a Shoot-out, I've never ridden on the dusty old cattle trails, robbed a train, rustled cattle, or had a shot of Red Eye. But I know what it feels like to be a cowboy. I've ridden -the trusty old horse. • Well, he really wasn't all that trusty and I really didn't ride the 'creature, _hut I did walk like a cowboy at the end of it all. The Sunday afternoon adventure wasn't anything 'like those exciting horsey rides at Woolworths. The real thing was a terrifying and painful experience. Perhaps if my horse had had a -nicer name he would have acted. better, butmy chestnut steed was called Butch. - - People are supposed to call their dogs Butch, not their horses. Horses should be named Fury or Midnight, Stardust or Dynamite, Golden 'Girl or Champion, but not Butch. How degrading can you get. So it's no wonder that old Butch was such a lackadaisical creature. But nevertheless, ,Butch was quite a challenge to ride. Just • the Mitchell manager will be busy.

Butch would have. been quite content to stand on the trail all day, chewing,. on grass and twigs and watching the birds. I showed Butch who was boss though.- I yelled, I jabbed and1 a tugged as the old boy and usuall I \ won out i the end and off we'd tr t. But Butch wasn't to be outdone arld when he got his gumption up would begin his bottom bruising trot. I'm sure he knew I was in pain for soon he' had he own version of the fox trot, three slow steps and nine bouncing trots.• Well, at least he was moving. • Until the group decided to ride up the hill. Butch pulled a real ornery here, wouldn't move and munched' on berries instead. I was deter- mined to control this animal and tried by best horse maneuvers, but • Butch was boss. He quickly "fixed my wagon" by half-heartedly rearing, just enough to scare the • daylights out of this cowboy. • We walked most of the way back to the stable from that point on, or • should I say, I pulled and he resisted, just like a mule. And then the creture had the nerve to•nuzzle up to me to say goodbye. •Butch's memory will stay with •me for a longtime, tn fact evefytime I attempt to sit down.

Byers added, "Many women • assume that, their lives are • fine because thatiS the way their mothers and grandmothers lived," But the women 's group would like to open new avenues arid help each other deal with Oncerns and, problems.
