Rodeo, rodeo, rodeo...

Are cowboys surviving just in the old western movies? Don't be mistaken. There are plenty of cowboys in Nebraska. And actually of cowgirls as well. Jeans, shirts, cowboy boots, hats. All that we saw on Saturday's UNL rodeo performance.

After 15 minutes drive we got off the car and found out that we are finally there - you could smell typical animals stink. We quickly got in the building which looked like a hangar, paid cover which went to research of brest cancer and took seats next to all these Nebraskans pretending to be cowboys as well ;) Show could start... And I have to admit that it was very interesting show. I kind of don't like this type of entertainment using animals, but here it looked that nothing bad was happening to them (when I don't count poor little goals, on which cow kids practiced catching them and roping their legs :( ) There were whole bunch of disciplines, when you wanna list them:

Bareback

Breakaway

Tie Down Roping

Team Roping

Goat Tying

Steer Wrestling

Barrel Race

And finally the royal discipline came - Bull Riding. Almost 30 guys tried to stay on the back of huge jumping bull... and don't be hit by its horns or be trampled out by its huge hooves. Nobody was injured this time, I'm kind of surprised by that as far as I saw that.

We spent on the Rodeo about 3 hours, which I even didn't realize, because there was always something going on there. So, if you have an opportunity to go to some rodeo, go ahead!
