Bull Riding Bro
I thought I had lost these pics, but I just came across them! These were taken at 3-Crosses Arena. I think it was Andrew’s first time there for bull-riding. It was cold and rainy. I sat on the covered bleachers with dad, eating nachos and taking poor quality video with a cell phone. I was terrified every time someone got out there on a bull. Andrew loves it so much, and it makes me happy to see him following his passion. I had to get cheesy and pull up this photo of him wearing his first cowboy hat ever. He got it for Christmas.
He’s the youngest, there are 10 years between us. I think he’s taller than me now, especially with his big ole cowboy hat and boots. I’m going to miss him this year.

wow, bull riding. i don’t know anyone IRL who has done that. but i’m a city girl.
So, what do you do for a living?
Oh, nothing much. I just show rampaging, ticked off bulls who’s boss. No biggie.
lol
I love the face he’s making in the last picture. It’s like he’s looking at the bulls in his future. Oh, so you’re a bull. You think you’re tough stuff, don’t you? Well, I’ve got a hat. Bring it.
My childhood friend (who was a boy) got bit by the bull riding bug when we were only 8 or 9 years old. He started riding at age 10. 10! He’s done it his whole life, although I haven’t talked to him in a few years. He was crazy about it. I guess I get the adrenaline rush, but I’d personally rather seek it other ways.
It’s not the easiest or safest but he loves it and that’s what counts. He looks good in his hat!
I don’t think I could have watched! Great photo of the times past – and he’s still wearing the same style…
Great photos! It would be stressful to have a bull-rider in the family, but I’m glad he gets to do what he loves.
