True.

Do you mean my cow is not a horse ?

I mean that 'a horse', in the true use of the word indicates an intact and actively breeding male equine or, what some uncivilized people would call a stud.

I can 100% attest to this reason. As a 16 year old kid I rode my gf’s barrel racing horse at a full run wearing tennis shoes. As that beast made a sharp right I kept going straight as my shoe had slipped out of the stirrup. Luckily my foot didn’t catch in the stirrup and all that was hurt was my pride as I rolled on the dirt.

At least you had a good excuse. Back in my younger (dumber) days, I thought I was "Cowboy" material. I actually tried riding bucking broncs in the rodeos for a while.
Just to show you how bright I am, I actually did it more than once..

Things haven't changed all that much have they?

Oh oh, I have a story. Two. Maybe three. All true.

I was once a passenger involved in a head on collision with an 18 wheeler. Life Flighted to Austin Texas, from LaGrange TX. I was supposed to be dead. I don't remember how much time later, I think two months, my circle of friends were partying, they had horses. They were practicing or showing off their ridership. It looked like fun.

I was asked if I could "rodeo". Fruck yea I thought, . So, I mount this steed, to prove my stupidity. It was a mighty steed and I yelled "Ye Haw" while kicking it in both sides with my flip flops. Ye Haw, off we go. I mean off I go. That steed took off like lightning, made a hard right, the saddle, the loose saddle rolled over to the left. I tried to hold on but God prevailed.

He told me to bail. He gave me a choice. Do you want to ride under the horse ?

Story two, also true. I was with some inlaws, beer was involved, they had horses. One of it's name was Bud. A mighty steed indeed. His regular exercise was a slow walk to the ole' watering hole. A beer drinking joint unless you say I want whiskey. Bud had his designated water bucket because he went there so often.

I asked and was allowed to ride Bud. Bud didn't like me. He made a hard dash to a low hanging tree branch. A BIG LIVE OAK ONE. I told him to stop, he didn't. I guess I should have said "whoa".

Another aside, my wife does not want me to wear my new boots. My work boots are now "dress boots". No matter, I like my old ugly boots better.
