West Farmington Rodeo

It was a few weeks ago and I'm just finally getting around to blogging, but I went to a rodeo in West Farmington for little kids. It was SO FLIPPIN CUTE!!! There were kids from really young ages- we're talking 5 yrs old, to a little older. My favorite was when they were riding the goats and their little bodies were flailing around. None of the pictures for that event turned out well because of the motion, but you get an idea with this one.

All of these kids were adorable. They were all decked out in cowboy gear- plaid shirts, spurs, vests, chaps, hats, the works! Then it was really amazing because these small little kids were barrel racing on full sized horses. It is amazing that such little humans can control such a huge animal! Some of the names are TOTAL cowboy names: Ruger- just like the gun (my favorite, and cutest boy ever), Brody, Brock, and Cooper. They were born to be rough manly men cowboys with names like that! It was very entertaining to say the least.

There was also some lassoing going down as well as an event where the kids had to grab a bow off of a goat's tail. I took pictures of my 3 favorite kids during these. It seriously made me want to have little cowboy and cowgirl kids. Aren't they the cutest things ever?!!

This last event was where they had to tackle down and tie down a goat. Some of these girls look so small and dainty, but they are NOT! They just went right on in there and went straight to business. It was funny to watch the goats closer to the end of the event after getting tackled so many times. When they would untie them they ended up just laying there, almost like they thought that's what they were supposed to do and why they kept getting tackled. Either that or they didn't want to get up cause they knew what happened when they stood. Poor goats:)
