Bruneau Junior Rodeo

Again, Bruneau has out done itself.  I'm tellin' ya, if you never go, you are missing out!  Everyone knows I love rodeo, and everyone should know I love children.  So, what better for me to photograph than a Junior Rodeo.  Not much.  These are kids from all around the area, and a great time is had by all.  Competition is a good learning experience, but fun competition is the best!  Bruneau is serious about their rodeos, and I don't know of many better.  These pictures are in the order I took them.

The youngest ones get a chance at dummy ropin'.  All "Under 5" kids got buckles.  Very exciting for them!

The youngest ones are almost always pulled before they go too far.
