I worked at a pack station as a guide in my late teens.
One time we had a six foot tall 350lb "woman" with a mullet, lots of peircings, combat boots and a flannel shirt with the sleeves ripped off come in and tell us she wanted to take her "partner" for a scenic trail ride. We didn't want to lame up a good horse packing her so we put her on a pack-mule and her very attractive young girlfreind got a kid safe mule.
Now Dynomite wasn't broke to ride that we knew of but he'd packed just about everything you can imagine including dynomite so we figured he'd do fine... I just lied to the ladies and told them it was our policy to string up and lead anyone who'd never been on a horse before. We had to back the mule up to the loading dock to get her on but we got it done between the three of us and I hit the trail.
Dynomite was one of those good mules that learned how to shift his own load to keep it from slipping but he was really struggling to keep that gal on his back. I had to stop and cinch him up a few times while he caught his breath.
Back at the pack station, I helped the smaller girl slide off her steed and then we turned out attention to the biggun. We had a guy holding the lead rope and controlling the mule, one guy on the off-side, and two of us on the on-side to catch her. She followed directions and started to dismount but when she slid down her ultra-tight sports bra hooked on the saddle horn and she stopped about a foot off the ground. :shock:
The two of us couldn't get her picked back up to un-hook her, the guy on the off-side din't know what happened, and Dynomite lost patience. He started to hump up and buck with this gal dangling off his side and knocking us clear out of his way. Luckily the guy on the off-side ripped the billet open and dropped the cinch. That gal landed in a heap with a saddle stuck up her shirt. :mrgreen: She was to tough to admit that it hurt so we got off easy.
