Description
The Rodeo Event known as "Steer Wrestling" takes skill and courage as well as great horsemanship and athleticism. The cowboy must ride full speed to catch the steer as his hazer keeps the animal running as straight as possible. Then, the cowboy must dive off of his speeding horse and grab the steer by the horns . Once this is accomplished he must twist the steer to the ground. Sometimes this works and sometimes the steer gets the better of the cowboy.
The life of the Rodeo Cowboy is not an easy one. These athletes, both male and female, are tough as nails and compete in an arena where seconds mean money or go home empty handed. Here seconds can also mean injury or even death. Training for this sport lasts a lifetime. Those who prepare the most may come out on top but, as in all sports, don't count on winning until the "Fat Lady Sings"...Photographing these events is fun and requires some practice. Each event is special and offers many opportunities for the photographer.
