Round the Barrels


One of the girls only events at a rodeo is Barrel racing where horse/rider are timed going around three barrels without toppling a barrel.

At the arena tried to find the answer to Saffron's side saddle questions-- well when asked about side saddle always got a puzzled look like that is kind of personal isn't it? Almost universally the opinion was that it's best to straddle the horse but those that prefer to ride side saddle these might be required plus after the ride could be used for other uses.

Oh yes, cowgirls do sport tats

Lets see you continental girls try this on your side saddle or an English saddle :-)

















Then she rode up in a cloud of dust and thought turn around is fair play as you took mine I will take yours!











What a ride around the barrels!!

I just love this, Mary, thank you! Sure wish the video was longer than 11 seconds though! :)

Why English girls could easily do that side saddle we probably wouldn't even bother to hold onto the reins.....*ducks
