Son and the Bronc

[Ranchy]

Al's riding the 3 year old bronc, Kid, again today. I got a few pics this morning, while I wasn't having to hold on to Kid, to keep him from wandering away at a rapid rate......thought I'd share with ya'll!

Giving Kid the once-over with the curry comb......check out the dust flying!

Straightening the bottom saddle blanket

Then the top one

He finally got tired of having to catch Kid and take him back to the saddle shed, so got out the hobble rope and put on

Whew! Got the saddle on him, after chasing him halfway back to the house........that's Snip (full blood Cur) standing on the barrel behind him, with Half Pint, the goat, lying beside it, and one of the Rhode Island Red hens.......quite a menagerie in this one! Didn't notice until just a little while ago, that Kid's got a hump in his back. Hope Al takes a deep seat and keeps his mind in the middle today! :?

He's got his lip pulled down too. So what happened when he got on?

Good lookin' colt and kid. :wink:

I hope they hit it off.

Everything went fine, he said. Kid is still very green, and doesn't know what he's supposed to do yet, but he'll learn. Kid lost a front shoe on the way down the mountain, and thought he was pretty sore footed by the time they got to the corral with the cows, so I imagine he'll get a new shoe and a little time off next week.
