"Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys..."
There were (Wh)oops, then whoas and I am certain some pretty big bruises when it was all done. The horses seemed to have fun though. I took these shots at the Inter Tribal Rodeo in Gallup. The afternoon started like most summer days in New Mexico--hot, sunny, an azure blue sky with high white clouds building on the horizon. By the time these guys rode the wind was whipping and a light rain was falling. The show was accompanied by lightning in the distance.That's New Mexico--wildly beautiful.
great pictures. people who want to ride in rodeos are a special breed. you couldn't pay me enough to ride bull or a bucking bronco
ReplyDeleteJaime--
ReplyDeletea special breed indeed--thanks for stopping by-c
I am investigating the double posting but in the meantime must applaud this post! Crazy idiots! All power to 'em, I guess!
ReplyDeletegreat stuff. rodeos are definitely good for a few oops!
ReplyDeleteRain in NM? That was strange to read.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these guys have any brains left intact when they're done riding.
Some people are just ASKING for their "whoops" moments, I think! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic action shots! Of very whoops! moments.
ReplyDeleteI just don't get this sport but it is fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe riding looks fun. It's the landing I worry about. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteThat must have hurt! Ouch!
ReplyDeletethey must be crazy--but it does kind of look like fun. Does bull riding void your health insurance?
ReplyDeleteThere it is - my next career. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI feel sore just loooking at those shots... and none of them even show the riders hitting the ground!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to a rodeo.
