Nick Coleman is a horseman at heart, but after this latest welding project for an AG class, who knows? \u00a0Welding just might have to come first, after all.<\/p>\n

CHS sophomore may turn from horse training to welding<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Pete Kendall\/reporter@trcle.com
\nFebruary 12, 2010 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s understandably spooky mounting a horse that\u2019s never been ridden.<\/p>\n

The rider can\u2019t know exactly what the horse is going to do \u2014 smile, frown or say, \u201cIf you raise your voice to me one more time, I\u2019ll buck you into Bosque County.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That\u2019s what almost happened to young horseman Nick Coleman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, I was nervous,\u201d the Cleburne High sophomore said. \u201cWhen I\u2019d first get on a horse, I\u2019d be holding the saddle horn. But if you do enough ground work on them, they shouldn\u2019t buck. They might, but ground work really pays off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had one last year throw me into a metal pipe fence. The guy who was helping me on the ground let go of the lead rope. My leg wasn\u2019t all the way in the saddle. I came off and flew into a fence. The way Ron [Richmond, boss] and I do it, one of us is on the horse and the other is on the ground with the lead rope. If the horse starts bucking, the one with the lead rope pulls [the horse] around.\u201d<\/p>\n
