That could easily happen. But here is my mismatched story.
I was getting bucked off my horse continually. Finally one day I got a letter in the mail that I had WON a pair of Tony Lama cowboy boots and what size should they send me. It was a local feed store promotion. So the boots came and I could not find a pair of matching socks. I had the world's best sock eating washing machine. So I wore brand new Tony Lama boots and mismatched socks.
I did NOT get bucked off.
From that day forward I would not get on any horse without a pair of Tony Lama boots and a clean pair of mismatched socks. Even if I had a pair of matched ones, I would choose mismatched ones. Cowboys and cowgirls are very superstitious. I rode for the next 16 years and never was unloaded.
I wore out the free pair of Tony Lamas and found a pair of Dolly Parton Coat of Many Colors Tony Lamas which I still have. My feet no longer fit in them but I'm not without them.
