Day 39, July 22nd

We went to the Bull Buck out in Bowling Green, Mo at the Pike County Fair. We were going to do a break time demonstration. I rode Knight around the Bull pens behind the bucking chutes and up to the bucking chutes. He seems pretty relaxed about most of the activity. They called my name and asked me to come to the announcers stand so I opened the gate and rode across the arena on Knight, he entered the arena and felt pretty good. After I spoke with them at the announcers stand I rode back out and waited for my time in the arena. When our time came Knight was alittle reluctant to enter the pen and when I got him in the arena he was reluctant to go forward and every time I headed back toward the out gate I felt him looking and pulling towards it. It wasn't too bad but the desire in him to escape the arena is something I will need to work on with him. When I had finished my time I exited out a small gate on the opposite side of the pen where he wanted to go out. I rode him out behind the bull pens and asked him to do several stops and roll backs. I rode him pretty aggressively, my intention was for him to not be quite so anxious to let the arena.
