Really enjoyed reading your story and the historical anecdote that followed. So cool to find out Texas has its own “headless horseman” tale.

Thank you, Erichka. I appreciate your kind words. Make sure to hold onto your head if you ever find yourself in Texas. 😉

Man, I really enjoyed your picturesque relation of this story. I truly felt I was seeing the whole scene with my own eyes.

Thank you so much, Paul. Writing “spooky” isn’t necessarily in my wheelhouse, but it’s fun to try a hand at it every now and then. Thanks for reading—and riding for the brand. Blessings.

Thewy? Tying the head to the saddle horn sounds like something from Blood Touching Blood, which I'm thoroughly enjoying.

Muscular, sinewy. Thank you. Yes, it does sound like something from Blood Touching Blood. When you finish I hope you’ll leave a review.
