Rodeo Broncs and Bulls | South West Photography

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

I went along to Harvey Dickson’s Rodeo down here at Boyup Brook to get some reference photos for some western and rodeo inspired paintings that I have planned. I can understand where the origins for many of the events lay – calf roping, bareback and saddle bronc…even the steer undecorating, but I really have to wonder who on earth first thought of trying to ride a full grown bull that would rather kill you? LOL, must have been a man with more bulls than brains;)

Here’s a few of my favourite shots.

Ian Francis Cutting Clinic | South West Photography

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

After the Paint Horse Championship Show I popped over to have a looksie at the Cutting Clinic being held by Ian Francis. I’ve never seen Cutting Horses in action before, but it certainly looks like fun as well as a whole lot of skill is involved in selecting the right cow (beast) from the group and then keeping it separated for the required time as it tries to return to its mates. This is definitely something that I would love to have a go at someday!
