J Bar W Ranch Rodeo

We went to the J Bar W Ranch Rodeo at the Carrol County Ag Center in Westminster MD. The indoor arena is only about two years old. It is a really nice place. As soon as you walk through the front door the smell hits you and you know there are animals near.
The show started at 7pm, there were 32 riders. It was the last night of the winter season, so the 32 cowboys were the top points scorers for the season. This was my first rodeo, so I was a little nervous, I did not want to see any injuries. The first couple of guys got tossed and a few were hit. It scared the crap out of me. No one was hurt very badly. They all got up and walked away. All of the bulls were from the J Bar W Ranch in Union Bridge MD, and some of them were HUGE! You can visit their site at http://www.jbarwranch.com/. They have a summer series, so I think we will be going back.




Tanner and Brett got all of the cowboy's autographs. They even got to say hello to the clowns. There were two of them, and they did a great job!
