Maybe he should have started on Bucky the Wonder Horse with a blown spring. Might have been more his speed.

“Kyle Warman says he began beginner bull-riding lessons...”

That’s quite a name you have there Mr. Warman. With a name like that, you must be brave and fearless.

Just great. Now it begins. What will completely safe, risk free rodeo look like in 5 years after the wimp a$$ liberals have their way with it? America is toast. I really am nearly out of optimism.

Note to Mr Warman: Target shooting, stunt
driving, and sky diving are other activities
you should avoid.

I guess he did not notice the bull was nearly 2,000 pounds in size either.
