Yup - It's Real

This is what we do in Texas for fun on a Friday night - ride a longhorn! Eva & Em
Em's turn
Go Eli boy!!! By the way - the longhorn is REAL. He was pretty docile and the cowboy off camera holding the rope to his harness was keeping him in check. The kids didn't care that he would move those big 'ol horns close to them when he turned his head to see them. They got on AGAIN when the lines of kids waiting disappeared.

  1. So I have a dumb question...is that thing real? It looks real-if it is, they're very brave!

  3. I didn't know Debbie was a blonde!! Okay, I can even tell it isn't real. Hee, hee. (It's head is exactly in the same position in each pic. with a diff. kid and I don't think a bull would be inside like that).

  5. Yes, ya'll - it is REAL. He seemed pretty calm. A cowboy was holding the rope to the harness just off site of the camera. Another cute younger cowboy would help the kids on and off the saddle. They loved it and got on again when there wasn't a line of kids waiting anymore. So Deb wasn't so blond on this one. hee hee

  7. Who's laughing now!!!! I've seen things set up like that at the fair, Gatorland and the sheep thingy in NZ, so I thought it surely could be real! (And if you look very carefully, it's head is slightly different in one of the pics) They probably drug the poor things. I'm actually very, very glad it was real, I was starting to feel quite embarassed by the other comments.
