R is for Rodeo

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.  Post # 18 on ABC Wednesday.

  2. 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:)

  4. Isn't it dangerous for children to do this?

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