I was in my rodeo finals, the last event and I was in first place in my division. my horse was coming around the first barrel and all a sudden I lost my footing and fell off. My horse didn't know what to do, and kept doing the pattern and finished w/o me. We would have won too, but they disqualified me and said you have to stay on the horse. I was so mad, but now I look back and only can laugh.
