Laughlin Rodeo

Laughlin River Stampede
click photo to enlarge	I have made 2 web pages out of the rodeo, one for bull riding and one for some of the other events. The barrel racers are very intense and really squeeze everything they can out of themselves and their horses. It is amazing to see just how quick they go.

Lower left is the team roping and below is Saddle Bronc Riding. In this case the cowboy attempts to stay on the horse for 8 seconds.
