a Clown, a Cowboy, and a Bull

Wednesday- Well, arriving to watch the bullarama i hoped that all the bulls would fend well and one wouldnt get paralyzed in front of a crowd and be euthanized as i saw last year. And yes the bulls fended fine, too fine. I stood down by the actual arena out of the bleachers by all the EMTs so standing by the fence, if a bull hit it, the fence would jump 2 feet toward us. Watching and enjoying my time seeing the bulls buck, and the men fly off, i then gasped in horror!! After bucking off a cowboy, the bull turned a sharp right and clipped one of the clowns knocking him onto the ground...if THAT wasn't enough, the bull continued to headbut and mual the man trying to crawl away. Soon after the bull was distracted and the clown slowly climbed over the corral fence to where i was by the emts. Bruised battered and hurting he managed to go back in and give another go. Whew close call. Till a cowboy was bucked off and OH MY!! his hand was stuck still, so as the bull bucked he was attatched and being trampled, stepped on, and squashed by the hooves of a pissed off bull! if that wasnt bad enough, when he became loose i could hear the crowd sigh in relief along with me, that is till mr bull turned around and saw the man crawling away and headbutted him up and over. OHMAN! Half crawling and being dragged, mr cowboy was taken out of the arena. I tell you what for having 9 EMTS there they sure hussled (biggest sarcasm ever) it was though they were tossing a coin who would have to stop watching the bullarama to go around the arena to get the poor man. Not the assistance i would care to have. Anyway he ended up with some stitches on his face and prolly some nasty bruises.
Well to end the night, the last 3 riders i watched in sheets of rain, and a muddy mess, we got up to 2 inches in some parts of platte county and id bet the fairgrounds got a good peice, it was fun just standing out in the rain soaking wet in the muddy arena watching the rest of wheatland in the stands huddled in one corner...hehe i just played in the puddles and enjoyed the refreshing rain!
