We went to a nearby rodeo recently. Here are some photos and commentary from that.

It wasn’t just a rodeo – it was an equestrian expo (with a rodeo as part of it)
One of the first events was to get the lassos ready:

The older kids enjoyed it and wanted to stay to the very end. So we did.
I recommend it – well worth the $5 admission.
Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.
