I haven't watched bull riding since I saw a young man get his brains stomped out at a rodeo we were at. I never liked watching bull riding before that, now I really don't like it...

And with that, I'm off to saddle my horse and go ride:) The lady that was going has canceled so I don't have to wait on anyone.

I can understand that. I don't like watching horses race. I used to love it until I saw a horse cartwheel. The jockey just got banged up but the horse was in agony. They put him down on the track and then dragged him off with a tractor. Such an awful end to such a beautiful animal. That was bad enough but what made me sick was the laughing and eating and betting that just continued on. I couldn't take my eyes off the horrible scene and others around me didn't seem to pay any attention. I wanted to scream "what's the matter with yall. A young man could have been killed and a horse is dead down there" When ever I see horses racing now I find myself not cheering winners but telling them, "don't trip, don't trip"

I'm surprised with your concern for safety that you would ride alone. My daughter is an accomplished rider, and we don't let her ride alone. Never know when something unexpected will happen and you will need assistance.
