Sorry... lately I've been calling everybody bro. My older sister really took offense a while ago.
I'm not currently a horse guy but I was a wrangler/trail guide back in my twenties. Very fond memories. I always told the customers if they wanted to see critters to watch where their horse's were looking and if anything interesting was around it would be right there between their ears.
