Vaquero Fiesta

Just downloaded the entry form for the Vaquero Fiesta 2010. Held at Richard and Nancy Caldwells in Alturas July 31-Aug 1.



Gonna sign up for the intermediate Progressive loop. A three man team gets to rope a numbered animal from the rodear, using a Sidearm in the first go and a Houliahan in the second. Head it and drive it to a designated area, heal it and rope the front legs and bring the animal down. You get disqualified or points deducted for jerking or choking the animal down. There are a bunch of other rules aswell, all for the benefit of the livestock and to honour the vaquero tradition. Going to be a whole lotta fun!!!

We got a storm building here by the looks of it, gotta head out and tend to the horses...
