On the left is a picture of a saddle bronc rider in the middle of his ride. This one made the 8 seconds required to receive a score.
This picture was supposed to be one of the last ones put on but for some reason this site does its own thing, so I had to adapt to that situation.
Today we went to our first Rodeo event. It was called rodeo slack. It started early in the morning and consisted of team roping and women's barrel racing. The picture to the left is of chute #9 which is where all of the team roping, steer wrestling events started from. The barrel racing started on the opposite end of the arena.
To the left here is a shot of a team coming out of the box. The calf is let out first and the team has to wait for a short time frame before they are aloud to chase after and rope the calf. The cowboy on the right first ropes the calf around the horns or neck. Then the rider on the left has to time it perfectly to rope the steer's hind legs. If he only gets one leg it is a 5 second penalty on the time. If either cowboy misses their roping at all, then there is no time awarded.
On this picture is one of the lady barrel racers. This is when she is turning around the last barrel and is getting ready for the sprint to the finish line.
This is a decent shot of a bull rider enjoying his 8 second ride on a bull who is rather anxious to throw him off.
More to come in next post.
