The local fairground hosted a rodeo today, so I figured it was good chance to dust of my Nikon 200mm-400mm.

Excellent set! Haven't been to a rodeo in forever. When I get back to Idaho, that'll be the first thing I try to do.

Nice series, Shot well and made for a very enjoyable viewing, seems like a few were nasty falls, you shot any while they were down? We have something similar here, a cattle fair here in Punjab where we have events called as "Rural Olympics" Will try and dig out some pld pics from last year.
TFS.

Thanks. We dont have many rodeos around here. This was the 3rd time I've been to one and it was fun even in the rain.

Thank you. I didn't get any while they were down. This was close to down.

Thank you. Actually this was only my 3rd time being at a rodeo. I know very little about rodeos or horses. I just kind of watched for a little while then gave it a go.
