That annoys the SNOT out of me. :) That is certainly cheating. <BR/><BR/>I've had a handful of those HOORAY moments on Ransom.

So sure, getting on a horse that automatically just does it right in spite of you bouncing around up there is edging toward cheating, but it sounds as if Ransom is making you work for it. That's not cheating :)SunnySDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591623033468632399noreply@blogger.com
