MESA, Ariz. - Fire officials say a Cave Creek man who was trying to ride his pet buffalo was mauled by the animal after it bucked him off. The man, 75, was flown to a Scottsdale hospital after the incident at his home about 20 miles north of downtown Phoenix on Monday. John Kraetz, a district chief for the Rural/Metro fire department, said the unidentified man suffered non-life threatening injuries. The man owned two of the animals. Kraetz said he's never been on a similar call. "People do have buffalo on their property, but it's pretty darn uncommon," he said.

He needs to meet my dad: He broke his wrist when he fell out of a tree because his chain saw threw him off balance...when he was 80.

I am hoping that when and if I reach age 75, that some random morning I’ll wake up wanting to ride a buffalo!

I was thinking more or less the same thing. I suspect a lot of us would like the guy.
My dad went skydiving for his 65th birthday and plans to do it again for his 75th.

Good for him to be able to climb up on a buffalo. I have a picture of my 80 year old granny on a mule. Not the mule’s fault but it’s the last picture taken of her. She led an active and full life. If only I could say the same one day.
