To the Maun and Back

Chapter:5

I woke up to a small kick in my thigh. I looked down seeing Bella then remembered last night. Oh that happened. My right arm was underneath her while the other was over her.

The door opened. J.B poked his head in the room. "She still asleep?" He asked. I nodded. He slipped over to the bed and sat down. "Didn't want to bother either of you so I left her in here." He said.

"Didn't bother me." I said stretching. Bella rolled over and I slipped my arm from under her. "Might as well get dressed for the day." I said slipping from the covers. Great thing I had pants on last night.

I got out of bed and found a pair of jeans and a tank top. "July had really gotten hotter." I said finding a pair of short socks. "It has especially farther south." J.B said. "You learn to get use to it." I said. "I should take her in yonder." He said picking her up.

He carried her out of the room closing the door behind him. I quickly got dressed and grabbed a piece of fruit before making my way outside. I ate it on the way to the pens. Once I was done I pitched the core into the burn bin and went to feed the bulls.

I put several square bales on the flatbed and fed the new ones. Then gave them more water. I fed and watered the horses before going over to the arena. I sent two yearling bulls into the pens. I grabbed my chaps and fastened them on. Both of these are polled so what's the point in wearing a protective vest.

Scratch that I'm wearing the vest. I zipped it up and put the rigging on the first one. He bucked and slammed himself against the chute. I put a glove on and settled into the chute. I tightened the rope and got up on it. Then pulled the gate cord to open it.

The bull immediately bucked out spinning faster and faster. I didn't focus on an object as he switched directions. That's when I slid and got to the fence. He was still bucking even with me off. I let him out and took the rigging off. He settled down as I gave him water and let him be.

I then did the same with the other one. I stayed eight on him before he fling me off and did a back turn. I jumped out and let him out as well. Now I'm ready for the day. I took the gear off and tucked it away in a compartment on the truck.

I parked it beside the barn as they all came out. Then went back to the two and turned them out. They ran out to the rest of the group. Then went to the two year olds. I got on a four wheeler and went out to round them up.

J.B

The ground almost shook beneath my feet as I saw an entire herd of bulls coming this way. "What did we sign up for?" Shane asked. "I'd say bull riding and she needs those ridden." Chase said. Of course he's excited about it. "Great thing I brought mine!" Sage said. "Same here." Shane said.

Chances are we all brought our gear. I watched as all of the bulls were penned ready for it. She was on top of one of the pens before getting down and grabbing some type of rope off the ground.

Chesney

I swung the lead forcing a bull into the chutes. He snorted and let off a growling sound. I pushed him through then fastened the rigging on. He banged against the sides. He'd be a dream to take to PBR.

"That is one mother bucking bull." I looked behind me seeing J.B. "Jared bought him with high hopes last year but never had the chance to try him out." I said. "Me first!" One of them said.

"I don't think you want to ride this one." I said. "I'd say. The chance of getting stomped is one hundred out of ten." J.B said. "Dude your worried you won't come out alive." Chase said. "Nope. I just think she knows what she's doing." He said. I pulled the chute cord and the bull went out all rage.

"What's the name of that one?" J.B asked. "Keep Dreaming." I answered. After eight seconds the bull was still going. "He sure is making me dizzy just watching him."
