Bull Riding Pictures

I promised ya'll some pics of the bull riding practice, so here they are!

The most entertaining bit was the impromptu rodeo clowns... and there were a lot of them...


This kid got hung up, but don't worry, he's ok.



Apparently, for some of these guys, one in particular, touching the bull while the rider is spurring them on is the ultimate in macho.....

Because this one just kept trying.....



Of course, they weren't the best bulls in the world... a few of them just wanted some praise for their hard work, like this guy.....


But all in all there were some really good pictures to be had, like these.....

My Goal For The Day...

Is to convince my riding instructor to let me out of class today. The rodeo team is getting bulls in, and they're gonna give the bull riders some real practice (as opposed to practice on the mechanical bull) before the first rodeo.

And, thanks to the persuasive powers of Fred, the rodeo coach, E will be riding a bull today... I gotta get pictures of this. E wants me to get pictures too.

I've got my fingers crossed that when the instructor finds out they're gonna have bulls in today, she decides she wants to watch too and just lets us all watch.... I'll go out early and work Bubbah, I just wanna watch the bulls!


Edit: Success! I rode with the nine am class instead, and I get to skip out on the three pm class to go watch the fun and games! I'll see if I can't post some pictures for ya'll when I get home tonight.
