Rodeo Roundup

"There never was a hoss that couldn't be rode, and there never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed..."

We can officially say we live in the Wild West--we made it to our first Steak Fry and Rodeo!! It was the real deal with live music, fresh manure, and mounted cattle hand. Events of the evening included Tie Down, Break-Away Roping, and Goat Tying.

The video below is of a cowboy Bareback Riding. This is when a cowboy holds on to an animal with one hand and has to keep the other hand high in the air. Touching any part of himself or the animal prior to a full 8-seconds results in a "no-score." The harder the animal is to ride, the more points a cowboy's performance is worth. Yikes!
