What a lovely day. Started with setting the gates up in the pastures to trap the 2nd Brahman herd to work tomorrow, filled the Black Buck feeder & set up the mineral feeder with new minerals in it for the 1st Brahman herd. About that time, my riding girls showed up & my boss gave me a pass to go with them. Rode Gameil, my first time ever to ride him -beautiful white gelding who has a charming disposition.
We were having a great ride until.....
Gameil decided he was done!! He ran up a hill bucking the whole way. Since I had just gotten back on him, my left foot was not in the stirrup. I was holding on as best I could but could tell it wouldn't be long before I hit the ground. So, I hit the ground on my own! In this case, it was fall before the pride. My left side is a little sore but nothing compared to my pride!!
The girls assisted me in coming to & getting my bearings again before I climbed back on Mr. G. The rest of the ride was rather uneventful.
Lots of fun & I am either too stubborn or too stupid as I will definitely ride him again.
Smaller group of cattle to work tomorrow. I'm the black leg shot person. Wish me luck as I understand it is very painful to humans to get that shot!! Dear Lord let my aim be true.
Now for some more Advil & off to bed. Too much to do tomorrow to be crippled from my antics today.
There's no "Holy S%#t" option under "Reactions" to your post! "Funny" "Interesting" and "Cool" don't accurately describe my reaction. Gamiel and I are gonna have a "talk" this weekend. I don't cotton to uppity horses throwing my one and only when I'm not there to catch you! I'm very relieved you're (mostly) allright and can't wait to see you!!!:-)
