Many years ago I was with a few friends who were real cowboys. We were rough breaking a group of young horses that one of the guys had purchased to break & resell. One of the fellows, several years older than me, I was still in my teens, he in his mid-20s told me "you're not a real cowboy until you've been thrown by the same horse at least 7 times and thrown by at least 7 different horses". I wanted in the worst way to be a real cowboy so made sure to be the first in line for every horse started. I didn't want to miss an opportunity to do the 7 & 7 thing. Maybe even get it all done in one or no more than 2 days.
As I've slowed down & become more observant in my advancing years I've figured out that every real cowboy I've ever known limps. That must be another of the requirements nobody ever told me about.:confused3:
