Mounted search and rescue

[spindoctor1234@yahoo.com]

While herding cattle, we had a drone flying with us, videoing for promoting 
the ranch. None of the horses got very upset, even though none had ever 
experienced anything off of the ranch.  My gelding trotted a little fast at 
times. The drone got right over our heads and also would follow about 15 
yards behind each of us.
