and Again.....

He stole my heart from the second he rode into the arena.  I guess I do believe in love at first sight. “Bull riders and barrel racers have nothing on this guy. He is at home in the saddle. He has the pride, attitude and style found among those pioneers of the old west. His riding skill is unchallenged, pulling the saddle from side to side and exhibiting riding expertise by hanging off one side mimicking a classic Indian hideaway."



Meet.... Whiplash!

the Capuchin monkey and his loyal Border Collie, Bud, have been wowing crowds on the rodeo circuit for years, and at 27, he's older than many of the human riders on their bucking broncos touring the Southwest.  Dressed in full rodeo gear including a cowboy hat, chaps and a skinny tie, the monkey keeps his hound on a tight rein as he wheels around the arena rounding up sheep and rearing dramatically.

Reno Rodeo 2012- Kid's Day




My mom and I went to the Xtreme Bullriding Night and had an absolute blast!  The bulls are great, but I have to say that the little kids riding sheep were the highlight of the night! (mutton busting)  A total crack-up!  We had so much fun, that we just had to go again... Kid's Day of course!  The boys loved all the activites, D'Sean was afraid to pet the horses, but not afraid to ride one!  And Jace is positive that he is going to be the next great Sheriff!
