#Riding on  any #animal which has not been trained is  just #looking for a #tumble!  Being raised in Texas where rodeos made bareback riding an art and encouraged the young that they could do it.  I remember my father telling our neighbors that “his” five yr. old daughter could stay on the young calf  we had in the back lot a longer time than anyone.  So he had his own kid’s rodeo that day with each ride timed to see which one lasted the longest before being bucked off.  (Yes, his only child held on)  I learned at a very young age, that riding on a beautiful horse in an arena or parade is very majestic not like my calf.   When I read in Mark 11 about Jesus riding on a young colt into the streets of Jerusalem, I was and am still enthralled by His humility and majesty.  “as Jesus had commanded (his two disciples) brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on him; and JESUS SAT upon the colt..many people spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees and and strayed them in the road..they went before and followed, cried, saying Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord!”  Yet, we know Jesus took the greatest tumble/fall/death in just a few days after this triumphal entry not because of his shortcoming, but FOR the sin of man.  Just think.  “Psalm 68:4 ..Extol GOD that RIDES UPON THE HEAVENS by His name JAH and rejoice before Him.  33. LORD RIDES UPON THE HEAVENS which were of old; He sends out His voice and that a mighty voice ascribe the strength unto GOD”  (YES, GOD’S ONLY SON WON THE VICTORY IN THE FINAL RACE OF DEATH)
