 M: of around the periphery, the (aptain would really blister them for not

 keeping the horse against the fence. Vteoi0 L$o<A( AC; Y~\-Ie I had the

 reins pulled back as hard as I could, horses head was cocked right around

 practically where he was looking me back in the eye and almost turning

 him around to keep him in the fence. It didn't make any difference, he still

 went across the center of the corral to the far side and as I was leaning

 into this thing with all my might, just pulling back as hard as I could, all

 of the sudden/ that rein broke and I went pitching into the dirt because,

 yA know I was leaning with my full weight into the thing and all the sudden

 it let go and there was no way of stopping. But I didn't let go of the broken

 rein, I hung on and kept the horses head pulled down and I stopped him. I got

 back on and we tied off the reins ya knowlso I could go and the guy.... Captain

 came over and asked me if I was hurt and I said "No" and it's just.... really

 I was mad was .... my uh.... sense of propriety or my falling off and I

 didn't like that. And about fifteen minutes later I wanted.... looked to see

 how much longer we were gonna keep up this nonsense and then I discovered

 I'd lost my wrist watch. The strap had broken in the fall. So the Captain

 got everybody out and we walked across the.... the uh(where I had fallen,

 y know .Xc -man side by side carefully sifting dirt and CM rane aamg

 he came up with my watch. I think it's still running.
