Supper presentation cards at seasons last ACW meet The Acton Free Press Wednesday June By Wendy Thomson When our three youngsters heard thai Hugh Graham a friend of ours had whomped up a fair sized rodeo all his own nothing could keep them away from Me cither Those poor deprived souls had never been to a rodeo or a circus and felt that their lives were definitely lacking in something and 1 went Saturday night by ourselves in order not to miss anything with having small voices in our cars every two minutes I m hungry we d just finished supper Can I get Krssfbv go to the bathroom and usually lean find one As it was we could just sit and enjoy ourselves both watching the events and also people watching in between That sort of a game trying to put people in categories Thai night we guessed at who was participating who wai helping on the sidelines and up in the standi who had horses to look at who had horses to ride and who was horseless all by the clothes they were wearing Judging by appearances every third person was an avid rider At limes I felt almost naked by appearing without my boots and a stetson I was reminded of a guy named Joe I once met He had just bought a horse and immediately rushed out to buy riding pants big belts with big fancy buckles and western boots for he entire family 1 ve only known him to ride the horse once for minutes in an indoor arena his wife and three kids were scared of the marc and wouldn t even touch her but they all stood around in this small fortune of riding gear and looked expensive So Gord and I sat and supposed We found that in the arena the men with Ihe fanciest chaps the brightest shirts and the shiniest spurs were the ones who opened and closed gates The ones in plain dusty shirts and plain dusty boots really just plain dusty all over were the ones who did all the rutty riding We were quite wrong once After we had labelled a slinky blonde as a clolhcs horse she surprised us by riding barrel races The events themselves I found quite fascinating I think it would be quite easy to get caught up in the challenge of whole thing We had only watched two or three of the bare back bronc riders before was saying that he like to try that sometime when nobody was watching of course I offered to stick a pin in Jim Daisy pony if Gord would get head another half turn can see how he did it Beth and I were most interested in the wildhorse race A team tried to haul an unbroken wo yearold out of a chute saddle it and ride it to the other end or the arena The horses had other ideas of course They reared danced side stepped took off one with the cowboy still on the rope flat on his stomach plowing through the dust One bronc stood quite well mainly I suppose because one man on the team had the horse ear clamped firmly in his teeth Ptui liked the bit where one got the saddle on tight and it slid down the side of the horse so that the rider crossed the finish line lunging on desperately just about under the horse The cutting horse wjs the most impressive 1 think When he was separating a cow from the herd he reminded me a bird cars pointed forward taking little short sneaky steps I almost expected him to lift one foreleg in point When we go home I have been at all surprised if the family had headed out to the pasture for fun and games on their own I tan see David now trying to persuade his pony to lie on its back so he could sit on its stomach A couple of times since vc caught eyeing up our steer wondering how long it would take to throw him I mind the throwing part but I know just what would happen when Gord tried to leap from the back of a galloping horse mine probably onto a lumbering steer On Saturday it didn t even LOOK easy Contributions from posies to purees arrayed the
