Hi!
Years ago when I was a wee lad — the little town I grew up in would hold parades to mark certain holidays or events — and because we lived in the mountains there were a lot of "western" themed floats and people riding horses and so on.
In fact — in one parade, my sister and I rode our horses — Frosty and Dusty — as part of our 4H "horseman-ship" group.
I'll never forget though — that one kind looking old cowboy would show up over the years riding a HUGE bull.
The street would be crowded with people — and the old guy would steer < cow joke) the gigantic bull back and forth across the road — zig-zagging his way along the parade route.
The bull seemed very tame and endured being saddled, ridden, and put on display— in front of a boisterous and loud audience who'd cheer and yell as he rode by.
--------------------------
I found a video today that brought that memory flooding back.

| Screen Capture From The Video - Aston Thinks He's A Horse |
I'll let the video description fill in a few more details:
"Sabine Rouas, 43, met Aston the bull five years ago when she started helping out at a nearby cow farm near Verdun, northern France. She formed a close bond with the newborn calf - then called M309 - and convinced the farmer to let her buy him and save him from slaughter.
Animal-lover Sabine then raised him alongside her pony Sammy, now 10, and noticed the baby cow was picking up the tricks she was teaching her new horse.
Now Aston enjoys his freedom and training alongside other horses."
Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.
: )
Thanks as always for stopping by!
See you again soon!
