Getting ready for action

Gloves, lassoo, hat, now for the horse...

Positioning or posing??

Ah, those hats...never kissed the dust.

Alright, ride them cowboys, we're ready for you.

Western elegance personified

Well, lets forget about the elegance bit.

The Good, The Bad and The Injured...

It is unknown whether the contraption on the left arm is there to protect the limb or whether it is a leftover from some previous 8 or less second ride.

ETA - 1 second: Out of the gate - and into the sand.

This may be a sign of a pain in the arm or a pain in the ???

Calf wrestling lead in...this one got away.

This one did not

Bull Riding...not something I would like to do on a long weekend.

Handstand on automatic steering

The cowgirls get 16 seconds of fame, twice as long as the boys. Anyway, getting around these barrels took between 15 and 16 seconds. And the horses were better dressed as well.

Just don't get in the way of these amazons, a couple of seconds grace and off to hell for anyone who dares to wander around here.

Once more with feeling

Future dudes in training...

Well, some ride upside down.

And some ride back to the gate.

And some ride sideways.

And some ride laying on their backs.

And some get stuck at the gate.

The one and only female bronc rider - all of four feet tall.
