Good Mornin' all!

Still at the Barriere Fall Fair & Rodeo...

Bull riding is one of the more dangerous sports in Rodeo...

One of the great risks is that if you come off the animal the wrong way, there is a great danger that the rope with which you hold on to the animal will loop and become a knot, thus binding you to the animal you are, intentionally or not, leaving!

The "Pee Wee's"(age 9 & under) ride calves. The Juniors (10 to 14) ride Heifers and the Seniors ride Steers.

This Junior got himself in a wee bit of trouble... illustrating "how *not* to ride a Heifer'!

Best viewed in sequence.

Technical: LeiCanon 30D w/80~20/f4 Vario Elmar + 2x converter. Full tele, as I was at the far end of the rodeo arena. Hand held. ISO 1250.

BTW: His pride was shaken, but he was otherwise undamaged, for his ordeal.

Comments, criticism appreciated, as always.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers!
