Around the First Barrel

Why Rodeo?? Cause our friend Cindy barrel races and we went to see her at Orick, California. What I did not expect was a picture like this one entitled “Around the first barrel”. The rider’s expression is pretty easy to comprehend. She is going to ride and she is determined to win. The real surprise for me was the emotions expressed by her horse. What a buff, determined and focused animal. A great athletic team! It was real fun for me to review this set of images.
