Bull Riding.

This is how things used to be.  Since we didn’t own an equine type creature the kids made due.  I’m so glad we bought those bull calves.

The kids fashioned halters out of this and that.  Then, without fear, they jumped on and … they tried to ride.

Calves are temperamental creatures and don’t particularly like being ridden.

Sometimes they refuse.  They just stand.

Then they’ll switch it up and go full speed so the child falls off the back.  This is very effective.

But it does not dissuade the children.  The name of the game is who will outlast whom.

And it makes for good entertainment for the parents so we allow this activity.

It builds camaraderie between the children.

They can compare bruises, broken arms and hoof prints on their foreheads.

I’m kidding about the broken arms.

In the very least they look good out there.  Good form, Jenna.
