Ride 'Em, Cowboy

In the pen they looked nice, quiet beasts, but with a rope round their middle and a rider on their backs, they were dynamite on legs. The beasts, bullocks, were the stars of rodeo held at Brightwater. Some were ridden, but there were few riders who stuck to their job for the allotted time. Lots of fun and lots of falls.
