Ranch Rodeo...a super fun event at the Mercer County Fair!

This event was wild...the team had to load their horses up go and put their hands on the front of the pick up when the whistle blows they run for the back of the trailer and unload their horses...one has a batton he runs a lap around the arena...hands off the batton to the next rider until all four have run around the arena load the horses as they go slam the trailer gate...run to front of pick up with hands on the pick up again...time stops...it gets so wild as they hadn the batton off it gets dropped...horses run into each other...horses run out of the trailer...its hilarious!





These boys were on the shoots watching the Ranch Rodeo...it reminded me of bygone days of Billy when he was younger















Adam Wanner from team Four Guys...Adam is am awesome cowboy and we root for his team all the time.









The announcer Shannon Dean...





This event they had to rope the steer then brand him with chalk then run the iron to the pail time stops...



Spectators...Jack Reich a local rancher that is everything you think about when you think about cowboys...he lives it...looks it!







Our next favorite team is Challenger...Trent Martin is on this team he is married to Dawn Martin our neighbor...they are such a great cowboy family!

The Ranch Rodeo is a sanctioned event and the teams get points for their standings in all state Ranch Rodeos...the events go fast and the cowboys try hard...it is suppose to represent what goes on at ranches...and believe me when you are working cattle and chasing cattle it gets this nuts and worse at times...these are some great cowboys to watch!!!
