RANCH RODEO 2

Here are some more pictures from the ranch rodeo. These are more from the saddle bronc riding as it presents the most action.  Jackson is still the pickup man.  When we first saw him and he told me he was the pickup man I was a little shocked as Jack is not a big man.  Lots of agility, but a little shy on weight and muscle!  And he also told us that these ranch cowboys like to grab the pickup man around his head instead of around the waist.  And that is exactly what happened in the first sequence.  Click on any picture to make them bigger.

Making a good ride actually.




Okay mister, it is time to get you off that bronc.



Now grab me around the waist and I will get you to the ground.

How about if I just grab you around the neck????



It all worked out and Jackson got him off the bronc.

Now this sequence starts out pretty good.

Butthe young bronc rider gets a little to far forward and also lost his Texas style hat.

Check out where his feet are.  Not in the right place when the bronc is coming down on his front end.



So he is thrown forward over the neck.

Not much he can do now.









Check the lady in the upper left on the top row.  Hiding her eyes as she is sure this kid is toast.

The rider is looking for the softest part of the Darby dirt.


He disappears for a second or two.

Don't know how soft the dirt was but it does look like he stuck his head in it.
