Pictures 11: Youth rodeo in Harmony, North Carolina

After a wrong turn off of I-40, I stumbled upon a youth rodeo in a small town in North Carolina. I got a ton of amazing pictures, which is a damn good thing, because I ended up paying $102 to see this rodeo; a $6 admission fee and $96 to replace the flat tire I got in the parking lot.

This kid was cool.


Listening to the preacher beforehand... Don't they look enthralled by the word of the Lord?


Warming up the horses... it was DUSTY.


18 more pictures below the jump...
















And out came the flags... North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Oh, and the Christian flag, 'cause that's a state.




I have a feeling the American flag was coveted, and carrying it was a status symbol.


Thank the Lord, there are still sexy cowboys on this earth.




This bronco got REALLY close to me.


The storm started moving in.

The crowd... that woman in the lower right who is looking at me was about to get up and take a picture herself, but she didn't want to move til I was done. ha

I love this ghost horse.
