I was feeling left out, so I Googled "Artex sadness" and see this thread is already at the top for it. Jeez. Just an hour has passed and already at the top of Google.

Ah, that's because I misspelled it. Here they say it's "Artax."

I worked out what you meant almost immediately, but it did occur to me that I hadn't noticed the horse had the same name as a ceiling cover product in the UK when I read it. All is now explained :)

Flashback, these pics, without the saddle, could have been taken years ago at our ranch.
Exact same thing happened, she just wandered down there and got stuck.
We used cotton straps tied to chains on a front-end-loader.

Wonderful.

The guy in the red shirt got the horse stuck and had to go stand in the corner.

It's also possible the horse bolted and that's how it came to be stuck in the mud with a saddle on.

Maybe the horse didn't want to be up sh*t creek without a saddle!
(longtime lurker...finally registered just to say that!)

Welcome!

And I'm so glad you did! :lol2:

:welcome: (Have I been here long enough to say that?)

Alas, there is no fighting the sadness of Artex.

Yummy! Chocolate-Covered Mr. Ed.

:lame: I know. But we've been away from the food references for SO long. :(

he could be taking a leak. or he could equally well be jacking off. maybe he has a horse fetish.

So, the horse thought: "I'm gonna go for a walk. I'd better put this saddle on in case I get stuck in a mudhole and someone needs a place to hook a chain to get me out." :3_eyes:
