I went to the Rodeo

You might remember that a couple of months ago I visited the Rodeo in Amish Country, well this time I was back to watch my mom and Boomerang compete in it!

At the Rodeo // Team Penning // Ammo the Dachshund

Boomer was competing in a sport called Team Penning, which basically means that three riders have 90 seconds to round up three cows that are the same number (a number is called out by the announcer at the start) and pen them into a small corral at the other end of the arena.

My buddy Boomer is pretty new to moving cows around, and this was only the third time he’s tried team penning.

Luckily he had me in the stands to cheer him on, and I think I was good luck because on his very first time out Boomer’s team penned their cows well under the time limit!

Not to brag, but I pretty much taught him all he knows!

Rodeo in Amish Country

On Monday nights there is a rodeo of sorts held in the heart of Amish Country – practically right outside my backdoor. Of course I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a trip to the Hillbrook Rodeo!

Rodeo in Amish Country // Ammo the Dachshund

Tucked away in farm country this rodeo is open to riders of all ages – boasting barrel racing, pole bending, team penning, and various other speed sports. (For the non-horse enthusiast, it basically had cows and horses that like to run really really fast).

The team penning was pretty fun to watch, with the object being that three riders need to pick out three cows (all containing the same number on their sides) and separate them from their herd, putting them into a different pen. The Amish gals made it look easy – even while riding in a dress!

Rodeo in Amish Country // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the little girls I met at the rodeo offered to lend me her pony so I could give team penning a try too.

Very tempting, considering that her miniature horse was JUST MY SIZE, but I had to take a pass this time.

After all, being a spectator was turning about to be way too much fun anyway.
