Sometimes getting the job done can get a little tricky. We had an old water trough at a spring on the mountain that had gotten demolished, probably by the elk. So we had to figure out a way to haul a new trough up to the spring.
We packed the tools and post pounder up on Clay's horse, Miah. She was a trouper. It was a heavy load.
After several attempts to figure out how to load the trough on the horse, we decided putting a rope around it and dragging it up the mountain was our best option.
Clay's horse, Montana, didn't mind a bit, but the mountain was steep and it was hard work for the horse, so we had to trade off.
Josie is already thinking we are all nuts.

I had a video of Josie's reaction. She was not pleased at first. Then she settled down and pulled with no problem. This is Goucho's turn. He also handled the job like a pro.
We arrived at the spring. The horses were happy to have a break.
This was the old trough. It was a lot bigger. I am glad we didn't have to drag it up there.
Assessing the situation.
hmmm...
woohoo, success!
Very tired pup. Cato
Clearly I was working hard.
