Yup I rode bareback a lot and could stand on our horses as a pre teen. My brother & I would joust, but I usually lost becuz I'd be on Annabelle, my burro and he would tower over me on "Pandora" our Strawberry Roan. On one occasion I was asked if I was interested in making some money riding in the Fiesta Rodeo in Santa Barbara. They said, "you'll have a saddle and be racing other kids your age on an Ostrich." I asked them how fast do they go, and they told me about thirty. I declined....... sounded like a bad accident just waiting to happen. Click to expand... Yeah, I almost completely forgot about that until Surfnfish told his story. All that coastal ranch area north and south of Santa Cruz was like a different time and place. You have to be careful with horses as you can get seriously injured. I had an incident with my mother's horse where I made the mistake of saddling him up and mounting him in his stall. He raised up up his hind legs and pushed my head up against the stall rafters. It really rang my bell. I was a dodo for even thinking to do that. You live and learn. |
