Reno Rodeo: Cowboy Technicolor

Another Rodeo night in Reno.

Feast for the eyes, the leather leggings called chaps are fashion items in their own right.

Serious cowboy action, I was slack jawed at time.

Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Mutton Bustin, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Tie- Down Roping, Women's Barrel Racing. We saw it all.

Some of the best action was watching the dismounts and the corralling of the horses, it takes real skill from the three cowboys in the arena that support the competitors. The horses are huge, powerful and so on point all the time.

Bareback action

Saddle Bronc action

Team Roping, one cowboy lasso's the head the other the back feet

Working the ropes in hand and in his mouth!

The dismounts were extraordinary

Interval action, training the little men young to be cowboys, so cute though.
Impressive cowgirl action
