Opening Ceremony:
 |
| Elsie getting some advice from her coach, Daryl. We are very thankful for his patience and teaching the kids how to ride. |
 |
| Seth waiting his turn to be introduced to the crowd |
 |
| Honoring our country and military |
 |
| It wouldn't be a rodeo without praying for the safety of our kids, animals and military |
 |
| Heading back to the shoots and preparing to ride |
Saturday's Event:
 |
| Not quite sure what caused this, but Elsie came out of the shoot sliding off of White Lightening |
 |
| She worked really hard to stay on and cover, but.... |
 |
| White Lightening ended up tripping and falling over. Both Elsie and the sheep were okay, leaving Elsie with only a bruise to her shin. Luckily, this ride didn't count and she was able to get a re-ride a bit later on. We are also thankful to the bull fighters who are right there when the kids come off to make sure they are okay. |
 |
| Seth and the other cowboys hang out to watch the rodeo while waiting for their turn to ride. |
 |
| Elsie did her re-ride on Turbo and ended the day with 74 points. |
 |
| As always she addresses her fans like a true winner |
 |
| Man, the bull calves were the definite winners on Saturday by throwing each and every lil' cowboy off quickly |
 |
| But this tough bull didn't stop Seth from trying his best to stay on |
 |
| As Seth came off, the bull fighters stepped into action and helped keep the bull from landing on him |
 |
| And of course, he never forgets to greet his fans |
Sunday's Event:
 |
| Elsie riding Grandma like a champ, while the bull fighters do their best to keep up |
 |
| This was Elsie's last sheep ride, as she will be graduating up to calves next season. She had an amazing finish by holding both hands u in the air after the buzzer sounded, but before her sheep came to a stop. Sunday's score was 76 points with a total of 150 for the weekend. |
 |
| Bull riding is obviously a sport mainly enjoyed by boys, but there are a few tough cowgirls that like the challenge as well. Elsie and Charlie became fast friends this year and were looking forward to competing against each other next season, but unfortunately for us, Charlie will be moving to Nebraska in about a month. Elsie was very upset and took advantage of the weekend to spend as much time with her friend as she could. |
 |
 |
| Seth didn't cover, but he rode the best ride of his life today. 4.66 seconds! |
 |
| We are very proud of his effort and look forward to seeing him grow and improve next season |
 |
| Seth and the lil' bull fighter walking back to the shoots after his amazing ride |
 |
| Kya hanging out supporting her siblings, even though she honestly would rather be anywhere else besides at a rodeo. |
 |
| After five years of being the medic for PCJBR, this was Mike's last rodeo, as he and his family are moving to Texas. The kids thanked him for all his service and are sending him off the cowboy way. Chase & Tackle! |
