Tall in the Saddle, and Dog Day Tired

TALL IN THE SADDLE, AND DOG DAY TIRED

Photo of rider in front of stock gate

The information written about this photo from photographer Evelyn Cameron notes  this is “J.H. Price Esquire on Blue Funk in 1902.”  The horse and his rider seem to be feeling better and doing pretty good, but the dog in the foreground, looks a little tuckered out.  Early Montana had its dog days as well. If the horse was “Blue Funk,” one wonders what the dog was called.
