Tie down roping
As soon as the calf is released – after tie-down – it seems to know exactly where to go.
Whoops! That one got away.
That one didn’t get away.
Nor did the rest of them get away.
Waiting for his turn.
The winner.
Junior Steer Riding
Even though I enjoy watching a rodeo, I often wonder why mothers allow their sons to do this. 
Steer Wrestling
This one was funny. He slid right by the steer.
After the rodeo clown tormented this cowboy, he threatened to throw him in the mud.
The clown pretended to be afraid and ran back to his spot.
More pictures when I have time and internet.
Oh, my goodness — rodeos are rough enough, but in the MUD!
I agree!
Looks like a muddy, sloppy day!! Like you, I would prefer to be in the stands and under cover.
It was quite nice for us – but not for the cowboys, but I guess they get used to all kinds of conditions.
