I love this.
During Professional Bull Riding halftime, or intermission, or whatever they call it, they have seven-year-olds try to hold onto rampaging sheep. This is apparently called Mutton Busting or Mutton Bustin’. The bull riding is fun, but the mutton busting is incredible.
One boy did particularly well, but when he got thrown off the sheep he stayed down for a second. It looked like he might be hurt. When the sheep mascot came over to make sure he was okay, the kid got up and started dancing. It was like the end of Jerry Maguire, but significantly more adorable and happening in real-life. I hope the bullriders and your bulls weren’t offended when a packed Madison Square Garden gave this kid got by far the loudest applause of the night.
So. Much. Fun. The whole thing. Muttin’ Bustin’, as well as the Main Event. I love bull riding. It’s the one time of the year when I can totally wear my cowboy hat and boots in the city and not feel like a total ass. Just a partial one.
In all seriousness though, I love the PBR. And PBR. Both varieties of PBR.
Again, anyway, bull riding. In Madison Square Garden. Ten kinds of Awesome.
