A Well trained horse

Horse comes to a stop as part of calf roping.
After roping the calf, this cowboy’s horse has come to a complete stop. This allows the rope that is connected to the calf to become taut. The cowboy can then capture, flip over the calf and tie its legs together in a minimal time.

Still Competing

This cowgirl is 72 years old and still competing in barrel racing at the Russian River Rodeo. Looking closely, it appears that the horse is blind in its left eye.

Get Off My Back

Cowboy in suit and tie riding a bucking bronco.
A cowboy is trying to stay on this bucking bronco. The rider is trying to bring back a tradition of dressing in a coat and tie while riding the horse. The announcer at the Russian River Rodeo stated that when rodeos began, riders dressed formally in suits and ties. On another note, this rider qualified for winning money and a belt buckle by staying on the mandatory 8 seconds.

Team Roping

Team Roping

Team roping, the only true team event in ProRodeo, requires close cooperation and timing between two highly skilled ropers - a header and a heeler - and their horses. The event originated on ranches when cowboys needed to treat or brand large steers and the task proved too difficult for one man. Russian River Rodeo, Duncans Mills, CA. June 24, 2018
