What Goes Up...

...must come down, including a cowboy. (Sorry for the fence wire through the photos - I thought I was shooting between the wires. Apparently not!)

Get ready, Cowboy!
Cut 'em loose!
Yeehaw! Ride 'em, cowboy!
Hang on, pardner!
Uh oh. This is not looking good.
I see two cowboy legs on the same side of the horse.
Horse 1, Cowboy 0
