Ranch bronc riding in Valentine, Sunday August 17, 2008

[Soapweed]

Ranch bronc riding. All handholds are legal. The only object is to stay on the horse.

Loosely lopsided

High, wide, and handsome

A little too far forward

Down but not out

Trick riding

Tractor pull going on at the same time

Cowboy concentration

Miles of smiles

Bottoms up

Lots of good wrecks there Soapweed. Better not let the Greenies see that tractor pull picture, they'll be putting a stop to that "global warming" event for sure. :?

I like the chute full of broncs peeking out into the arena-wonder what they're thinking lol-'Gimme Sum of Dat' lol.

"The Horse Whisperer"

What a classic title you gave that picture. Wish I'd have thought of that. :wink:

Nice arena! We were at White River rodeo at the time. Saw lots of good rides by NE boys.

My bro-in-law's team won the team penning before we got there. It's kinda hard like watching that as most teams do everything contrary to how good cowboys should work cattle!

But a good little rodeo, overall. Even the Mutton Busting was fun to watch. No little kids got run over by the ewes, and few even got dumped off. Saw one cute little guy wearing a number sign on his back all day which read "next year!" They had to be 5, 6, or 7 years old, I believe.
