It was one thing to trot around barrels, or rope fake cows. It was a completely other thing when a large black angus steak cow stared you dead in the eyes daring you to ask it to do anything. Okay, so maybe it wasn't so huge, and it wasn't a full size steer, but it was still huge to the seven year old who rode and the golden and copper horse who seemed to know vaguely what to do. At first the cow just lazily glared at him as he tried to urge it ahead of him, towards the orange cone. The calf bleated softly, snorting and snuffling at the dirt in the arena. Mark glared at it, urging Bengali to stand right behind the calf. It didn't care at all.

"Come on! Move!" He yelled, waving his arms. The calf glanced behind itself at the annoyed seven year old. It ignored him, only turning back to see the copper face of the stallion ducking at him- teeth bared, ears pined. The calf let out an earsplitting moo and bolted away. Mark grabbed onto the saddle horn as Bengali followed after.

"Sh---ugar!" Mark yelled as he held on for his life, having enough sense to grab the reins and at leas try to get the horse to guide the calf aroud the plastic cones. From the corner of his eye, he could see his mom standing at the edge of the arena, one hand covering her mouth. Great. She was never going to let him near a western saddle after this, let alone a calf.

Well... he wanted to be a cowboy.

What he didn't see was his mother covering her mouth to hide her laughter, or that she temporarily hid her face in Greg's shoulder, trying to hard not to let her son see her laughing about his first experience with a calf. The look of terror on his face when the calf started running had nearly brought tears to her eyes. If he wanted to be the rodeo king, well... he had a long way to go just yet.
