Braided Buckskin Beauty

Sunday morning barrel racing slack. I'm usually not there for this after a late Saturday night rodeo dance but this time I was. There was a smokey haze from the wildfires that provided a nice filter for photos. I was talking to her mother when she mentioned that she paid 80 grand for this horse. I whistled and told her If he was mine I'd bubble wrap him when we got home so he wouldn't get hurt, horses are accident prone. LOL She must have good insurance for him. Canon 7D

 

In case you were wondering what the heck a slack is.

Slack rodeo is for the "overflow" contestants who do calf roping, team roping, barrel racing and steer wrestling. It's everything that wouldn't quite fit in the highlighted rodeo performance, basically because long, repetitive events are not crowd pleasers.
