Bill, I spent most of my adult life in the country and around cowboys and
ladies. During one rodeo season, a young bull rider with an excess of
Te`killya' in him, rode a Quarter horse up on the dance stage at the local
honky tonk and did a fairly good `4-step' dance with the band. I'm not sure
how it ended as we also had an excess of the same beverage and were on the
floor laughing, but I do know the cowboy and the horse successfully
negotiated the stairs on the way out ;-)
