The Rodeo

The Rodeo

A young cowboy enters his first rodeo and he knows it's going to be a challenge. He waits for the moment until it's his turn to ride. As he is getting down on his bull his nerves finally well up in him like a fire. He gets ready pulls his rope and nods his head. The gate cracks open and the bull comes out kicking and bucking. The rider says he is like a tornado; you are not trying break his spirit, you're trying to stay with him jump for jump. Every time that bull would jump the young cowboy's fear would rise higher and higher, the whistle blows and he has made his ride. The young cowboy has finally lived one of his dreams and he realizes, "Hey, I'm actually good at something." Before he enters the ring he kneels and prays to God for a safe ride.
