Bucked Off

From Dora Baty Argyle

 

We used to go to Kelly to go to school.   When the weather was good, we used to ride horses.  We would have too much fun running the horsed with the other kids.  We had a black horse named Bess.  She would jump sideways at everything that she would see.  At this time I had to ride with my older brother, Leslie, and he would say that I would pull him off of the horse when she jumped.  I longed to see him get bucked off when I was not with him.  I will never forget the look on his face when this happened.  He never accused me of it after that.
