Moved our bulls to a new pasture last night. Brady got to make use of his skill somewhat. Me and Annelie driving with Brady and 23 year old trotter Avenir.
Two of `em just didn´t get what an open gate means! The were pretty quick to find the weak spot in our setup. Had them lined up a bunch of times in the opening when they just turned, feinted and ducked behind Avenir or under the old guy´s nose! Man, they really abused him!
The old guy loves it though, riding with a purpose and having a job! Really cool to watch him come to life, dance and prance and anxious to do something. He knows he´s supposed to move them, just doesn´t have the physical ability to go with the desire. Takes him a couple of boatlengths to stop and turn. He´s earned his keep though and have $300.000 in race earnings to back it up!
Brady on the other hand was, as usual nowaday´s, all business. Must have watched the cuttings from Oklahoma C. with me because he moved like a pro when the bulls tried him. On more than one occasion he got to sweep accross the cow, back and forth, back and forth. Ears pinned, head to the ground and working of his backend. Really cool how far he´s come along. What he likes best though, is chasing down runnaway´s, crashing through the brush, jumping potholes ducking around trees and stopping and turning the critter out in the open! He really excelles there, totally fearless!
I think we might have to construct a loading chute though for moving the bulls up to the arena. It might be a bit to adventureous trying to drive them up there and hoping for the best?!
