EOB: Otter Back In The Saddle

Gov. Butch Otter is out on a three-day trail ride along the Idaho-Nevada border, along with Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons, legislators and federal and state officials. It’s an annual tradition for Otter, who started the rides as a congressman to discuss resource issues and see effects on the land close-up. The Twin Falls Times-News has an article today about this year’s ride, which is in the Three Creek area. It includes this mention: “Otter said he brought his own horse, Snuff, a 22-year-old roping quarter horse, while First Lady Lori Otter will ride another family-owned horse, Cooper”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: I’m not a fan of Gov. Butch Otter, but I think it’s cool that our chief executive has rodeoed in the past and still rides a horse. How about you?
