Ridin' & ropin'

At the event today there were competitions for riding & shooting. The contestants were in western attire, some in old style cavalry uniforms. They would ride into the arena & from horseback they would try to burst 5 balloons with a handgun & 5 with a rifle. It was a timed event and the best time we saw was 14 seconds & he shot out all 10 ballloons. There was also a trick rider/roper who could spin a lariat and jump through it while standing on a horse. The guy had a bunch of tricks he and the horse performed, it was pretty amazing.
