I have a new riding coach.
He has these two buffalo.
He’s trying his hardest to teach me to be a better rider and competitor by working these buffalo like cattle.
Buffalo are better than cattle to practice because you can’t wear them out.
And they are more photogenic.
I really try hard to pay attention.
But mostly I’m thinking …… “Isn’t the light really good here in the arena?”
“I wonder how my photos are turning out.”
“Gee that’s a pretty horse”
I wonder what Puncher would do if I turned her loose.
Love Cowgirl Red aka Buffalo Girl
P.S. And still ………… people ask me …. “What DO you DO with your time?”
( …… “Patch” the Smilin’ Cowdog)
What fun. Love those action shots. It is dusty in that arena. I would fall off the horse just sitting there. ha… You work hard at this cowgirl business. I am glad you take us along.
Thanks Lisa, I’m so happy you are along for the ride!
The buffalo will turn around and do a face off with Puncher! Wow! The cattle don’t usually do that, do they? Puncher seemed to enjoy the challenge, though. What a trooper! Can’t say you life is boring, lady!! 😉
Yes Rita, Puncher is always up for it. xoxox Terah
As I read this I thought how hard that would be to do then I remembered you’re doing this while taking photos! While out at Yellowstone as a teenager I got “close” (25 feet) to a bison and I promptly got my rear end back in the car because I was seriously intimidated by him just ambling around. I can’t image being Puncher!
Carolyn, These were considerably tamer bison than Yellowstone! Terah
Fantastic photography and l love how Puncher looked at you once the Buffalo were herded ~ Great video ~ Love how you spend your time ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^ aka ‘artmusedog’ ^_^ on Google Blogger
Thanks Carol!
I think I’d be the same. I’ve often been told that I need to look at life through my eyes and not my camera lens…but I feel that I do both rather nicely. I’m SURE you learned a lot!
