Normanton Rodeo: last day, last post

Do what you gotta do to get rid of your hangover, grab a chair, pop a beer, and watch this, the final day of the 2012 Normanton Campdraft & Rodeo.

I think the bull won this round....




Bronco Saddleback:


ouch... my foot!


This bronco took a lot of persuation to vacate the chute

Poddy scruff:
Just climb over the chute, chase your calf out of the corral, grab his head while your team mate grabs his tail, give the beast an almighty heave, and pull him to the ground with all for four feet raised.
Simple, yes?

Nope, that's not it; these guys have NO idea


But these 2 young girls, on the left of the photo, manage to turn their poddy in no time.  Well done!



Confusion in the making: this Poddy Scruff is gonna get messy

And now for the team who couldn't stop laughing at themselves....





Nope, that's not it

Ah bugger

Poddies watch from the other end of the arena.....

...and cowboys watch from the bar

Thanks Normanton!!!  We had a blast!!!!!
