49TH MAKAWAO RODEO
July 4, 2004
ANNUAL FOURTH OF JULY RODEO AT THE OSKIE RICE ARENA IN UPCOUNTRY MAUI
Check out this new trend in stock horses. Most people prefer to use Belgians for draft work.
YEE HAW!
Let him rip! This is something I will never try!
HE’S OUT OF THE CHUTE
The clowns go into immediate action.
HOPPIN’ MAD!
The rider still has a leg over his ride.
END OF THE RIDE
Ouch and scurry.
THE CHASE IS ON
This bull is outa here!
AND ON…
Some bulls just don’t know when to go home.
CLOWNING AROUND
The clown’s job is to jump in front of the bull and keep it distracted.
FACEPLANT
That had to hurt!
WHO IS THE REAL ASS HERE?
STANDING BY
This pretty buckskin seems to be enjoying the show.
MESMERIZED BENEATH DARKENING SKIES
Keep ’em distracted…
HUMANITY
In all it’s many forms.
PONY RIDE OUTFIT
These ponies were provided by Mauka Lani Stables, which is where Cynthia gives riding lessons.
WAITING FOR RIDERS
This can get a bit boring as the day wears on.
BLISS
It is well worth the wait for the opportunity to spread this kind of happiness.
