Today was the last hunter pace of the season. Three of the five of us went to an Elk's dinner dance Saturday night, which is an annual fund raiser for injured service men to help defray medical costs. Always a lot of fun, dancing food, friends, raffles. I think we may have howled a little too much at the moon; but we got up and got the horses on the truck on time this morning.
I was riding my friend's little buckskin again today and he was just beside himself excited. Throwing bucks all the way to the start point. I decided to just trot him out a bit get rid of the feistiness. I didn't get 100 yards from our "group" when that little beast ducked out spun and bucked. He is a quick one! Lost my balance and right over his shoulder I went and loose he went bucking like crazy.
Long story short, I didn't ride the pace as he was high as a kite. I have a nice bruised shoulder and he is back to his nickname "LB" (little ba$tard). I'm not overly worried about it as I was due. I haven't been unseated since 97 or 98 but spoiled my ride for the day.
