Buckin' Brian

So it's been a rough week at our house. Thursday I cut my pinkie finger pretty bad with a super sharp knife. Yes it could use a few stitches, but being a nurse I figured I can fix it. Well I did get it healing pretty good until Sunday when I bumped it and busted it open again. So I'm still working on it and it's healing okay now. Saturday we worked cows with my dad, uncle and cousins. It was a blast until it start to rain then pour down rain. The corral became a mud pit with people and calves sliding and falling everywhere. But we got the job done. Sunday was the big event. We went riding on Sunday with dad. Ralph was going to make his first Barth riding adventure. Let me first say that we have been told Ralph has been ridden and is not new to riding. Well, we got him tacked and he did great! Looked fabulous (check him out below). Then dad got on him and rode him to make sure he knew the basics (right, left, forward, backward and stop) which he did. Then dad got off and put Bri on. I was riding Tigger. Then we were off. Well after a minute I hear a branch break then Bri says "Oh sh*#!!" I look over my shoulder and here comes Brian riding as Ralph is bucking. Needless to say Bri hung in there for about 5 bucks then he went left and Ralph went right. He's pretty banged up and his glasses are a mess! We went to the ER today and guess what he has 3 broke ribs. He also bruised his left ring finger and has some swelling on his left hip. But he will make it. Hunter has lost his game Thursday night 4-7. He did great! 3 for 3 and made some crucial outs on first. Next game is Monday. He also had play-day this past week. I posted some pictures below. Connor has park day tomorrow. So stay tuned for those pics!
