The future rodeo stars of America learn their trade at the small town rodeos like this one in Escabosa, New Mexico, population less than 1000. The youngsters start learning at a tender age, some as young as 5 years old. They seem to have a great time. If you ever get a chance check out one of these small town rodeos.

I bet they have a great time! My 6 year old would be crazy for this... heck I wish that I could do it too! Although the sheep probably wouldn't appreciate my bulk:)

Love the emotion and action in this photo Terry. I never saw a bucking ewe before.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it dangerous for children to do this?

Really like this photo, I suppose it is a good way to start your rodeo training on a sheep.
