That I am a cattle rancher and I was wondering while I was on my horse this morning...Why does the Western saddle have a horn on it? Because of the heavy traffic?

Isn't it like an Oh $hit handle in a car!

A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down. An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town.
She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off.
The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the Indian would let out a "Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a" so loud that it echoed from the surrounding hills. When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service station, yelled one final "Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!" and rode off.
"What did you do to get that Indian so excited?" asked the service-station attendant.
"Nothing. I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist,
and held on to the saddle horn so I wouldn't fall off," the woman answered.
"Lady," the attendant said, "Indians don't use saddles."

The horn is there to grab ahold of when the going gets rough

That's an excellent question. I always assumed it was for amusement on those lonely cattle drives but your theory is equally as intriguing.

I think you get a rather good jolly from honking while upon the horse

Beep, beep baby - a horn always gets those cows out of the road. Too bad it doesn't work on stupid, stupid sheep.

So you can play "Birth of the Blues" on your horse.

How else are you going to honk at the cows and such to get out of the way?
