I was very athletic. I rode horse back, lived on a horse. I had a mare, she was a Tennessee Walking Horse. We had a friend down at Tallulah that had a stud; we raised colts. The horses we had were registered. In the Depression, we’d get two and three hundred dollars for them when they were colts cause they were Walking Horses, they were gaited horses. We had no trouble selling them cause everybody rode a horse back then. Nobody had a car then, but we had a Model T.
