Rodeo Ricky

Ricky is growing up and participating in his passion for rodeo roping. (A sport I don't particularly care for.) As long as he is sitting on his horse, I'm supportive of his decision and happy to watch. However, last night Scott, Allan, Elena, my parents and I went to watch him and he rode a steer! Something I'm sure Ricky thought was way cool. I, on the other hand, as his mother, do not want him engaging in that particular dangerous activity that could result in serious injuries. Why would one deliberately volunteer to get thrown off an animal that weighs more than them?! CRAZY!!!! Aside from that event, he did well, and we are glad he invited us.
