What an amazing day! The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Contests were held today at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center. There were 4 contests today which consisted of washers, horseshoes, dominos and team penning. Can I say ... WOW! This was my first experience with this part of the HLSR and I have to say I enjoyed it almost as much as the rodeo in March! The team penning section was the most exciting for me today but I think that was because of the horses and fluffy calves (yes fluffy!). Anyway, during the intermission session from competition to finals there were a couple of horses in the warm up arena. Just what I was looking for today! A cowboy (no I have my own!) on his horse with a black hat! Now it only took him 6 or 8 rounds the arena before the horse was in the right position and he tipped his hat ... but finally!!! I have so many wonderful shots but this is the one I was after today. Smugmug ... get ready to be overloaded once I get the photos marked and ready! Amazing day ... thank you to all of the contestants!
Twaillah, this is a perfect shot. It looks like it should be on a poster for the event.
