As usual there’s been a few rodeos and gymkhanas on the calender around the bush in recent months.
The competitors give it their all. There’re all sorts of styles and techniques, some fast, some graceful but there’s no shortage of determination.
The horses seem to be just as keen as the riders to beat the clock.
Great movement caught on film and I wish I had not left learning to ride to such a late age. Feeling your willing horse beneath you in competition must be such a great feeling.
Happy New Year Peter and I am sure that everyone that enjoys your site is looking forward to more great images in 2010.
