{Donkey Basketball}

This weekend I went to a Donkey Basketball Game at Culdesac. It was so much fun to watch. If you have never seen a game before you should find one ASAP!

What makes the game fun to watch is that the donkeys are stubborn and do not want to cooperate at all. However, that does not stop the riders from hopping off their donkeys to attempt to drag them across the court to chase after a loose ball. The harder the rider pulls, the slower the donkey moves. The donkeys don't like to move any faster than a leisurely pace, unless they feel the need to do so.

It is fun to watch the rider get back on the donkey, then it take off running in the opposite direction that they want it to go. The donkeys were unpredictable, and just all together fun to watch.

The teams for this year's donkey basketball was students vs. faculty. It was exciting watch the competition of the students against their teachers in order to prove who is the mightiest of them all. I do believe, however, that the faculty prevailed this game.


In the end it was nice to catch up with friendly faces I haven't seen in a while and to snap a few pictures to share with you all.





Shoot, Shoot!



Pull that donkey!

The chase is on, whose donkey will make it to the end of the court first?

By the end of the night the donkeys were getting tired. As you can see one rider got bucked off. 
Well, what did you think? Have any of you ever been to a donkey basketball game? Have any of you rode a donkey?
