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'!
