Location: Texas | My grandpa had a big Brahma Bull that was halter broke, he came with the name "Snuggles". He was pretty cool... but we terrorized that bull so much you couldn't walk outside without a big stick in your hand. Ooops.
Me and my friend would tie my horse up (cause he was shortest and least likely to kill us) to a fence. We would get a running start and try to jump over is butt into the saddle like they did in the movies. We would RUN... then Bam we would hit his tail bone about boob high. He would tuck his butt and stand there and wait for the next one. That poor horse, looking back we put him through absolute hell and not once did he ever buck, kick, or try to kill us in any way lol. He did spook once, but my friend and I were riding double, bareback, in the dark, and a boy we went to school with came crashing out of the bushes swinging a piece of water hose. The horse did spook on that one, but we landed right next to him and he didn't move after that. Just waited for us to get back on lol.
Oh and once I was going to make him all pretty. So I show Sheened the crud out of him... then put my saddle on. Well my mom said "Make sure you check his cinch." I thought about how over protective she was and said "I will mom." So off we went to get a burger. Well after I got my burger I was going to get back on (without checking my cinch) and my saddle slid all the way under his belly. The horn was between his front legs. He didn't move a muscle. I struggled forever trying to get the cinch undone so I could some how fix it. I was like 9. Anyway finally some cowboy came and helped. PLOP the saddle hit the ground under the horse. Horse didn't move, and cowboy said "There ya go" and walked off lol. So since I couldn't lift my mom's heavy roping saddle I was riding in I left it there and rode bareback to my mom on the other side of the arena. She said "Shareasa Dawn what did you do and WHERE is my saddle?!" I still haven't lived that one down lol.
I went to one friend's house one time, and they were cleaning out the horse tank so we could swim in it. I said "You clean it?" her mom said "uh... yes.". I said "Oh we don't, it makes it more fun with all the green stuff! It is like a slip n' slide and a pool mixed together!". I can still see the disgusted look on her face lol. | |

Did anyone else endlessly harass birds as a child? I mean.. if it laid eggs, I was always schemeing to get them. Still not sure why.. but I was facinated by them.. and frogs. Especially the geese. They were a serious challenge. And boy. one got a hold of me once. the gander only managed to get my belt loop, but he tore it off!!! ha ha dont think i've ever ran so fast in my life..
I'd be off in the pond bare foot after frogs and duck eggs. lmbo
Yes!!! I was forever scheming on how I was going to catch myself a pet bird, I succeeded several times but my parents made me turn them loose I made traps for them and everything. Same with squirrels and any other little animal that I thought I could get my hands on.
We rode everywhere down the roads to the local ponds to swim, in the winter we would dally a plastic kids sled to my horse and fly around trying to knock each other off. We rode bareback more than with saddles and were always trying some new stunt.
We had every animal under the sun and tried to teach them all tricks from pigs to house cats. I had one cat that I taught to sit up and beg and I would stick him in an old baby stroller and put sunglasses on him and he would roll around in that stroller for hours.
We also spent hours and hours in the creek or the irrigation ditch catching water skippers fish you name it | |

Location: Florida | We used to take novices (i.e. my brothers girlfriends) on trail rides through the Austrailian pine trees that bordered the orange groves and then take off. We would duck under the branches and the banana spider webs but the novice would be like smack. Good fun. Then there were the moonlight rides. It was so fun telling ghost stories and scaring the kids. I do feel sorry for the kids now, they can't do anything. The stuff we did back then would get us arrested now and it was just in good fun. | |
