As a child, I was never known as a girly girl. Being raised on a cattle ranch required skills that were more linked with strength and endurance than beauty and pampering. Of all the tasks we had to learn there was only one I could not master. I never learned to ride a horse. Nearly every time I tried I ended up flat on the ground.
Once when Lester came to the ranch for a visit he insisted that he, a city boy, could help me learn to ride a horse. I climbed on and waited for him to get on behind me. The horse waited and bucked us both off! END OF LESSON
