Da Bulls

Bulls1For me this is what the rodeo is all about!  BullsIt’s all about the bull riding.
Rodeo4  And here is your bull riding champion.  I think he won because of his chaps…or maybe it was his awesome skill.  He tied the arena record from 1999 with a score of 94.  Check it out below!

More Rodeo Fun!

TRoping1We also watched a little team roping.   TRoping2 I still think it’s crazy how these guys can balance themselves on a horse, swing a lasso, and lasso a calf at the same time.  I don’t think I could even stay on a horse.TRoping4 Every fair has rides and of course fair food!  Can’t go wrong there.Troping5 Ladies barrel racing was quite interesting as well.Troping6

Those horses are crazy fast!

Saddle Bronc Riding

Saddle1Saddle bronc riding is a little different than bareback riding, however it’s just as exhilarating. Saddle
These cowboys are judged on their form and how hard the horses buck.

Frontier Days

BarebackA couple ladies from church wanted to dress me up as a cowgirl. You don’t get dressed up as cowgirls with nowhere to go, so we headed to the rodeo.  The big one.  Maybe you’ve heard of it?  Cheyenne Frontier Days.  Sound familiar?    Bareback2 We were running a little late since we had church that morning.  We arrived just in time for the bareback riding.Bareback3 Being from the city, this is something I have never seen before.Bareback4 I was completely mesmerized.  It looked a little similar to bull riding, which we got to see as well, but then again it was different.Bareback5 Look at that strength and that form.  It’s incredible.  I’m talking about the horse.Bareback6Although those chaps aren’t bad either.  We had a fantastic time at the rodeo, so much so that you are going to get the whole experience in some upcoming posts.  But for now here’s a little video to get you ready for what’s to come!  Enjoy.
