Uhhhh, past practice indicates that BareBack riding has been hazardous to the Zippy-Kat!

Till a reliable method of attaching a SEAT Belt to the Trusty Steed is devised -
BareBackin is NOT the suggested seating arrangement!

And here's the Hoss Spill Tail from Miz Zippy herself: (May 7, 2002)

"Here's my best attempt to 'splian what happened...

Saddled up western hoss Winchester... he didn't like the bit - got fiesty - crow hopped, reared, NO BIG DEAL. Stayed on.
Got on Flaco (spooky English hoss)... he freaked when I set my camera onna fence, we did some nice FAST sidesteppin, no big deal, stayerd right on.
Got on BOMBPROOF Cadalliac (bareback), trot trot trot, lope lope lope lope <OPPSY!> <lost my balance> <plop> ...leave it to me to fall off the EASY guy
So, anywho, got back on him and stayed on... Finished class, fed horses, went home...

OK, wrist/elbow is now reaalllly hurtin. Had hay all over me; decided at worst elbow is broken ~ But I ain't gettin' a cast on a dirty arm so I took a shower.
Got out--k--close to dinner time - no tellin' how long I'll be in emergency rm... Guess I'll eat dinner first. So I did! Went 2 emergency rm--MANY ppl there ~ Decided *maybe* it din't hurt as bad as I thought. Went back home. Took i.b.-profane and iced it. More I layed there, worse it felt. Finally decided to go back to emergenecy rm... 'n the rest u knowz.

Dad sez I should get into bronc ridin ~ tolz me "If ur gonna git hurt, ya might as well get paid for it!"
Hmmm... he does have a point..."

2) Managing the Head Fur
3) Fastening *button-up* blue jeans
4) Releasing pain pills from 'easy-open' container

And she'll prolly find a few more to add to the list...

At the time this post was made, Zippy had been diagnosed with a "sprained elbow" ...
LATER X-Rays showed she had suffered a BROKEN Wrist - which required a Plaster Cast.

Let's *wait* for the "Seats" to arrive!
