Ranch rodeo...where real cowboys compete against each other. :) These guys are actually working every day with cows. Sounds interesting ! It was really interesting. Yesterday at 10 am the first class 'ranch horse' started. The pattern was to ride circles of different sizes, sliding stops and spins and then a calf came in the arena, which needed to be moved around. After a lunch break the rodeo started. First class was 'California branding', followed by 'doctoring', 'trailer loading', bronc riding and bull roping. Only the 4 ranches with the most points were entering in the bull roping competition. 3 of 4 bulls weren't happy with being roped :) As soon as they came out of the shoot they tried to attack the riders if they were to close to him. After the cowboys roped a white bull he was a bit mad i guess... he didn't really wanna leave the arena. It took several cows and cowboys to finally get him out of the arena. I really enjoyed the rodeo, it was totally different then the 'professional' ones.
