We headed up to Pecatonica last night for another rodeo of Jacob's. We had tons of fun going in a big 15 passenger van with some friends and some of my brothers. We met Dad & Mom up there too. Ate an amazing supper at The Machine Shed then got to our destination....the kids did great traveling and we had beeeeeeeeeeeautiful weather as you can see in the pictures.
This particular rodeo had a prayer before it started...and that is always cool.
The first event was for little kids called Mutton Bustin'......they ride sheep outa the chutes just like you would a bull but they get to lay on the sheep and hold on for dear life! There was even a 3 yr old boy that did it! There's no way I would have had Gabe do it this young!
I didn't get a very good picture, but you can kinda tell how they ride....
Our friend's son, Klint, got 1st place and a HUGE trophy!!!
His younger brother, Eric, got 3rd place......
Then they had tie the ribbon on the goat.....talk about hilarious....this is what Ranch Rodeos are all about.....the fun stuff!!!
Jacob got to assist the craziness!!!
Shovel riding.......the horse and rider pull their teammate on a corn scoop....hilarious!!! Looked alot like tubing on water but yet a little bit rougher on the body.
Dad and our friend Alan got to go behind the chutes and help out.....
Jacob gettin' ready for the big ride....
I got so many pictures of him beforehand but wouldn't you know I didn't get one of him on the bull riding cuz my camera malfunctioned at last minute.....but here is right when the gate opened.
And afterwards....I never heard how long he rode but he did good and he was safe......and that's all that matters!!!
His buddy Evan who is gonna be a freshman in highschool.....had a great ride too!
