 Day 136 of Project 365... the rodeo was way cool... lots of events... Steer Wrestling... guy jumps on a baby bull from a moving horse... wrestles the bull to the ground... Bull Riding... cowboy riding a buckling bull... bull buckles because its balls are strapped like real tight... Saddle Bronc... cowboy on a buckling horse... Bareback... cowboy on a buckling horse... but now without a saddle... Team Roping... 2 competitors on horses... one ropes a bull calf by the horn/nose... the other by its two hind legs... Barrel Racing... ladies and juniors doing a timed course of 3 barrels on the arena... done in a clover shaped fashion.. Breakaway Roping... guy on horse ropes and lets go... Calf Roping... guy on horse ropes calf by neck... jumps on calf and ties up 3 of its legs... legs must stay tied for 6secs... totally enjoyed the experience... my first ever rodeo... second if you count yesterday... picture is of the Saddle Bronc... if you look carefully... you will see that all four legs of the horse are off the ground... there are cooler pictures... those of the Bull Riding is way cool... but due to my horrible photography skills.... and lousy "seats"... we were on the grass on the second day... no stands... didnt manage to capture anything fantastic... will upload the rest of the pictures to Webshots soon... have some of ultra young pick-up guys as well... these boys ride horses to chase the calfs and young bulls in after each event... and a couple were so young... i dont think they were even as tall as the horses' legs... yee-haa! ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:59 --Link to Post |
