I love the rodeo

The Clallam County Fair last weekend featured a rodeo on Saturday and Sunday. I caught the action on Sunday and it did not disappoint. Here’s an example of bareback riding, where a cowboy climbs on an unwilling horse, keeps one hand in the air, and takes a ride. There are finer points, but suffice it to say that it’s quite a ride.

  1. Excellent action shots!! Really conveys the feeling of being there. Especially like the bottom shot of the non-riders helping!

  2. Our rodeo won’t be here until late November. I love these two photos!!! Great shots that capture the total essence of the rodeo.

  3. Great pictures, love the smiling faces in the second one! 🙂
    We have a smaller local rodeo next weekend, can’t wait to go!

  4. I like rodeo too! And I love to photograph it. Good captures of the bareback rider. (I’m interested in the arena surface, too….our local rodeo seems to have deeper dirt.) Thanks for visiting my blog.
