The Cody Rodeo

This fellow welcomed us to the Cody Rodeo.
As we were walking in, we passed the pens for the bulls, the broncos, and the riding horses.


This young lady carried the American Flag. There was a prayer, the pledge of allegiance, and a young woman sang the National Anthem to open the rodeo.
This was the group of fellows 12 years old and under...one was 5 years old. They rode young bulls and bucking calves. They did wear helmets when they competed.
I loved this shot of a little fellow talking with a bigger fellow---two competitors discussing the finer points of competition.
I was surprised that this cowboy had on a HOT PINK shirt. He's riding a bucking bronco.
The rodeo was a wonderful experience, one I will treasure. It was the last night of the rodeo season so buckles and awards were given out for each of the events. As we were leaving the stadium, we heard the horses giggling. One said to the others, Well, Bulls=8, Cowboys=0 tonight!!!! Tomorrow, we will be touring the Wild Bill Cody Museum. This life is so much fun from your Happy Travelers.
