You know how It was in the
old days, a bunch of men, mostly
young, laying around on Sunday
after the chores were done. May
b e the cards were too greasy to
play poker with, or maybe there
wasn’t any money on hand. They
got to talking.
One says ‘ If you guv’ll saddle
up that bald-faced aorrel PI, ride
him ”. Maybe there were a few
bets, not much for some of the
west's worst horses have been
ridden for $2.50 or less.
So the riding started Some one
else chose a horse until the
horses were all broke or as near
broke as It was interesting to
make them.

Then when the tlnfes were «lull
they started on the steers which
were a different kind of riding
but still a contest between man
and beast. Putting a saddle on a
steer so it would slk k was too
much trouble so they rode brfre-
back.
That was years ago when cow
boys were working men In search
of a little fun after they had wash

out their blankets toward the

Now a cowboy is a showman
who works weekends before
cheering crowds riding horses
and bulls both of which are
trained to buck; otherwise the
cowboys would have had them
broke long ago.
They ride ten

\hute crew that gets the horses
into the arena like Mac does.
T hat’s the reason he's coming
again—hes’ good.
Somehow the riding of horses
has taken ahold of Americans
and from New York to Moro i>eo-
ple flock to a rodeo like bears to
a honey tree. Many of these hor
ses are terrific and in an after
noon a spectator can find all
type» of bulking horses; the
straighaw ay fast, quick jum per,
the sunfisher, the one that turns
over, the end changer. All speeds
from the little fast ones that
break a rider’s back to the big
slow ones that Jar bis teeth loose.
You never know what kind is
coming out of the chute, nor
what kind of a ride the man is
going to make.
Every now and
then an old hand gets one he
can’t ride and some green kid
stays on top with nothing but
nerve to keep him there.
T here’s money in it for the
good ones and the lucky ones and
there’s a diet of corral dust for
the other kind—and broken bon
es for both. The customers shout
and cheer about it, stand up and
yell at a good ride or yell person
al rem arks at the unfortunate
who makes the wrong guess and
goes a different way than the
horse.
They ride bulls, too, and rope
calves and sometimes bust steers
which now wear a plastic head-
piece to keep their horns on. Hor
ses are trained to hold tight or
keep a slack roi>e until they,
the.nselves are worth the price

The Ixrots and saddles are the a high w in d .'
same except that the old saddle
was a sort of deep nest from
which a rider had to be throw n
straight up before he could be
dislodged. Modern ones are al
most flat which gives an advan
tage to the horse. Also the rules
favor the horee. A man can’t hold
on with anything but his legs and
his willpower. No clutching the
horn, the mane or using more
than one hand on the rope. Also
riders are supposed to scratch
the horse from shoulder to flank
at every jum p a movement that
