...The fire is lit...the seasoned cowboy's are prepared for the upcoming event...I mean they
have worked hundreds possibly thousands of calves in their careers...how hard could this be...really?
They have arrived this Saturday morning not having any idea what is ahead of them
Now...before you can begin a round-up...the men need a chance to greet each other...
they need to discuss the "plan" and how it is all going to go down.
They need to discuss the weather...they other cows that they are attending to that same day...
and most of all...they need to decide who is actually going to get dirty!
At this moment...there is still alot of crying and yelling going on between Reina and Chencho...
and the other animals have now joined in. The time has arrived!
The "matching" brothers mount the horses and enter the pasture...which I might add, really isn't too
big. Those Longhorns knew something was up...and they took off running. The cowboy's
took off after them...all the while swinging their ropes preparing for the catch...
It was in that very moment...when the cowboy threw his rope...ready to catch Chencho, that The Muneca decided....she wasn't having any part of this whole event and she threw that
cowboy right off her back....(check the picture closely...)...a gasp could be heard from the
onlookers...they started to run to the cowboy, who was not flat on the ground...then they
paused...was he going to get up??? And then he got up...laughing. I am pretty
sure the only injury he sustained was to his pride...especially because I caught it all in photos!!!
He was really mad at the Muneca...I think it was a good thing I was there;)
He mounted the Muneca again...adjusted the saddle...and took off ...
By now the fire has nearly burned out.
The Cowboy's weren't watching the fire...there were much more entertaining things to watch.
When they realized...more wood was added and the fire took off again.
The whole event began again...cowboys chasing the Longhorns..throwing their ropes...missing
the Longhorns...doing it all again....THEN...Nacho..the daddy Longhorn got mad. He had had
enough! He was being very protective of Chencho...which I found interesting...and he had
had enough of those cowboys and horses....and so he shifted and turned...and headed
directly for The Muneca...with his horns down...ready to charge...he was MAD!!!
Well, you can imagine the cowboy's reaction to that...he took The Muneca
on a full run...trying to escape Nacho's furry!
Again...a gasp from the group of onlookers....
While everyone was distracted with Nacho..the Dad....Chencho...
headed straight for the fence....and went straight through the fence at full speed.
More gasps from the onlookers...
I thought this was supposed to be easy...and these guys knew what they were doing????
At this point I start texting The Farmer...telling him he should get to the Sol
as quickly as possible...this was getting good!
He didn't come...he stayed at church like a good Farmer!
Well, now Chencho has broken out of the pasture...he is on the run...right into the alfalfa fields
that are surrounding the pastures....this brought the remaining workers out of the orchards...
chasing Chencho...fearing that they might have a really big problem if Chencho starts
to eat the green alfalfa.....(possible bloating and death)...
They men successfully chased him...back into the pasture. Everyone is laughing...disbelief has set in...
The cowboys can't believe this is all happening! And frankly...neither can I!!
So...here we go once again....at this point...Nacho is just trying to get out of the way...
he is really hoping that it is not him they are after;)
And then it happens...Chencho is roped! An audible sign of relief is heard from the group of onlookers...
and now those seasoned cowboys can do, what they came to do!
