Dad vs horse

I think if was the first year we lived at the Ranch. Dad saddled up a horse. Evidently it wasn’t broke very good. It started to buck. He rode it clear to the bottom of the field toward Hickmans. Just when he had it under control, Joe came riding over to help and the horse started bucking again. By the time Dad rode back to the house, the rope he had been trying to control the horse with had dug through his fingers making them horribly sore.
