An ol' boy who worked for my dad roped a pronghorn once, and he was tyed off and couldn't let go. Well that old goat jumped and run and when he met the end of the rope he started going in circles, tying the cowboy to the horse and finally taking the horse down. Well when the dust cleared there was a pony, a prong horn and a cowboy all tied in a ball and the other hands had to get in there with there pocket knives to let 'em all loose. Luckely no one or animal was seriously injured. Not as good a story when I tell it but still entertaining.
