Elsie's 1st Bull Calf Ride

Now that Elsie is 7 years old, she will be moving up from mutton bustin; to bull calves next season.  Before investing in more rodeo gear and membership fees, we thought it would be best for her to ride bull calves at practice first to see if she would even like it.





Looking good as she comes out of the shoot.

The bull jumps up high and Elsie starts to get a little off center.




Sliding off the bull where she will land hard on her back.

After a hard landing, the bull calf steps on her upper thigh, OUCH!  After a few tears and being checked out by the medic, I was sure she was going to say this was not for her.  Nope, she was excited to climb right back on for her 2nd ride of the day!  I guess we now have two bull riders in the family.


And just for fun, here is a picture of how Seth ended up looking after his two rides.  Yup, they don't call them the "Toughest Kids on Dirt" for nothing!
