It takes a special mind to get on the back of an angry half ton animal armed with only a rope, a special mind indeed.

Are you sure that's not a horse??
And from a video I saw the other day you should be glad it was dirt you were sprayed with...

We have our own miniature horses so I have learnt to tell the difference

What was on the video?

JoyfulColor In reply to FireflyPhotosAust [2010-01-05 22:05:53 +0000 UTC]

but there are so many types of horse (I'm just pulling your leg)

the video was of a family at the zoo watching (harassing) some lions. The kids thought they were perfectly safe because of the fence and all, when the lions let spray directly at them. It had to be on purpose.

Excellent - and anyone who knows to wear a helmet like that obviously knows they are going to be in trouble sooner or later

Maybe his mum had said that he couldn't ride without a helmet

Perfectly timed, Malcolm!

Did he stay on the animal's back for much longer?

Oh! I'd never seen them wear the armor. Probably a good idea for kids, especially.

Only the junior competitors are required to wear the armor.
