When you find\u2063 yourself in a new area, even if it\u2019s just outside your hometown,there\u2019s \u2063a chance you\u2019ll come\u2064 across \u200bcultures and \u2064customs\u200d you\u2019ve never heard of before.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a custom followed by many\u2064 rural Americans that\u200b city folks might not \u2062know about. \u200dBefore you learn what it means, here\u2019s some advice: don\u2019t mess with boots on fences.<\/p>\n
On the\u200b fences that border fields of crops or grasslands, you might notice a\u200d cowboy boot hanging upside down on a\u200b post! It looks odd but did you know\u2062 it has more\u2064 meaning?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s best to leave these boots alone since\u200d they were placed there for a reason.<\/p>\n
Why? Ranchers\u200b sometimes do\u2063 this to remember their favorite horse that has died! They may also hang up a pair of\u200b boots off the fence too.<\/p>\n
Just like we feel about our pets ranchers can form strong \u2063bonds\u200d with their horses!<\/p>\n
Any horse owner \u200bwould probably agree; they are \u200cas much loved family\u200c members as people feel about their\u2063 dogs or cats which means when they pass away it\u2019s really hard.<\/p>\n
So \u200bsome folks will choose to give up one or two boots\u200d to honor \u200dthem!<\/p>\n
Sometimes \u2062a \u200dboot on \u2063the fence \u200bstands for someone else\u2064 too often referring to an old saying \u201ca pair of\u200d boots for \u2063every hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
So if \u2062you\u2019re ever out and see one in nature it\u2019s best just\u200c to leave it\u2063 be!<\/p>\n
While it could \u200cbe innocent\u2063 there is also\u200c likelyhood it\u2019s \u2064actually honoring someone which means it should be respected and left alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
