A burro use to come out of the mountains with a herd of horses, and we would head and heel him every chance we got. We stretched him out and when I got off my horse to take the rope off him, I got on him and he ran to join the horses, and my brother in law ran up behind us and picked up both hind legs at a dead run and stopped like a calf horse. I didn't know what the heck happened, but those long ears popped me on the thighs as I flew over his head, still in the riding position. Lucky for me it was good ground to land on cause I took a pretty good tumble. There were 3 or 4 guys with us and they loved that one. Just another one of the ways of amusing ourselves. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

I'll bet you didn't know whether to thank your brother in law or light into him. When I was a lad one of the punkin' rollin' rodeo producers had a buckin' mule. The mule was never ridden and had a bounty on him. One of the less intelligent local cowboys took the challenge and didn't put a BB riggin' on him. The producer got mad and told the guy to get on or he was turnin' the critter out. The guy got on backwards, laid down on the mule like a mutton buster. He had his spurs in the mules heart girth and held the buckin' flank and rode the mule to a stand still. (NT) -- ZD Ranch, 13:49:19 04/19/06 Wed
- All I did was laughed like all the others were. That was pretty funny at the time. Chances are he couldn't pick up those heels again at that speed if he tried all day but that one fit. (NT) -- Hap, 06:40:39 04/20/06 Thu
