The family was able to go to the National Western Stock Show and PRCA Rodeo on 19 January. We had a great time walking around and looking at all the exhibits and animals. I forgot to take my camera in the morning so we went home at about 3pm to get my camera and then we returned for the professional rodeo in the evening. We all had a great time; Alisa and Jacob bought themselves Cowboy hats and Thomas bought himself a leather wallet. I did get pictures of the different rodeo events but the action indoors made the pictures turn out kind of blurry. I've included some of the better pictures and I hope you enjoy them.
Pic 1: The family waiting for the rodeo to start.
Pic 2: Bareback rider
Pic 3: Six-horse (normal size) drawn Stage Coach
Pic 4: Six-horse (Percheron Breed) drawn wagon and the previous noted Stage Coach. Notice the difference between the size of the horses. Percherons are a Draft-Horse breed, similar to the Clydsdale Breed. Each adult Percheron weighs about 2000 lbs, significanlty bigger than your average Quarter-horse.
Pic 5: Bullrider just after he was bucked off. Of note; none of the bullriders during this specific rodeo made the 8-second timer.
