I attended my third rodeo last night with the Utah clan and with my ever increasing knowledge of all things cowboy I had a great time. Granted I'm still pretty unsure as to what the hell everybody is up to but I can now tell the cowboys from the cowgirls. The evening started with a young lady singing a rendition of the American national anthem, a tune I am quite fond of even if it is a tad maudlin. A difficult song to sing well, the poor young lady in question had a rather difficult time of it, but it is the message that counts I suppose. The rest of the evening was a mix of thrills, spills and very un P.C. comments from the rodeo clown, a creature unbeknownst to me but rather funny in a very middle American non European way...roll on next year.Friday, 23 July 2010

Looks like a mean horse that 1. Hope use were sporting the cowboy hats and not looking so touristy.

In the night garden in sefton park doesnt seem to compare.
were you at that american fork rodio>>>we went to it also
Were you sitting in one of those makeshift stands with the wooden benches?
I didn't understand a lot about rodeos either at my one and only so I can imagine how it was for you there.
Great action shot...and the Wasatch make for a great backdrop!
Haven't been to a rodeo in a few years.
