Thanks for the welcome Helena...glad to meet you! I have 4 kids myself & out of the 4 only one that is into rodeo. And that is the one that barrel races. She wants to follow in her Daddy's footsteps & become a bullrider but we said no because we know how dangerous it can be. Awhile back a friend of ours was going to give bull riding lessons & she said she wanted to take them & he said if you bullride I'm gonna turn you over my knee cause I don't want you hurt (that is what our friend told our daughter) She started running barrels at the age of 4 & has the horse she started running on.
I'm proud of your son.... he doesn't let his spina bifida get in the way of his riding. That shows alot in a person. We have a bullrider in our rodeo association that has cerebal palsy & he gets out there & rides like no one can believe. We have to be proud of all the kids that has the courage to get out there & do what nobody would think they could do.
Again thanks for the welcome!
