Day 2 at Gunalda. They raised the dust in the barrels, poles and bare barrels. Getting ready for the finals in October
at Caboolture
Some runs from Caboolture on the 10th & 11th in preparation for the finals in October. There were over 70 noms. The arena was dry and dusty and made for some good times. Madam Pesidente was back in the saddle, Mum & Dad got some running practise in, some riders were in the pink and Lou and another were bustin out with the effort.
And the winner is … TEEBAR. After the floods,The locals came out in force for the annual show and rodeo. The day was a bit blustery. All except for a couple of toughies were rugged up against the wind.
Hall Rodeo supplied the stock, Bill Urquart was the man in the know. The rodeo was kept rockin with some of the best rodeo mix i’ve heard in a long time. Kerry Hall was good at Gayndah
but Mal Brown of RadioActive was the best, and “rang dem bells” The Bulls and Horses rocked while the riders bit the dust.
Brian King supplied the bulls for the sports day rodeo. Competitors were short on numbers for the new RSA affiliate, but there was a good crowd in attendance for the
rodeo and the whole sports day with the jumping continuing during the rodeo. It was the 93rd sports day.
Eventually. The venue at Cordalba was a good set-up with all the facilities. Riders set some good times.
Gunlalda bared it all. It was a day of encouragement, support and camaraderie for the barrels and poles at Gunalda (some were very vocal). An excellent viewing arena.
Weather was hot and the track was dry and not slippery – what a difference 20 km makes. A family fun day. The young riders did well
but lacked a bit of oomph from their leaders. Times were down a bit in the bareback barrels. Some riders picked up xtra speed from the bacon, egg, cheese and onion burgers.
As usual a good crowd was on hand for the Dallarnil Rodeo.Senior competitors were down (probably on holidays.)
Younger competitors kept the crowd entertained.
It was different with the team penners – over 120 teams.
Brian King’s bulls, Ray West & Bryce Cobin were the protection, Lenny Jansen provided the commentary
while Larry Cann tried on the steers for size
