It's time to cowgirl up!
It's Monday and it's the day the 27 contestants will showcase their horsemanship skills at the beautiful South Point Equestrian Center. Horses are provided by PRCA Stock Contractors and have been used in the rodeo arena as pick up horses and to move livestock, and outside of the rodeo arena to move livestock and to compete on. There is no time to warm up the horses, contestants simply get on, adjust their stirrups and ride. The first go-round pattern is a set pattern but the second pattern is up to the contestant and must include a set of maneuvers as outlined in the rulebook. They have two minutes to showcase their skills. Here's a glimpse of what will happen today, provided by official pageant videographer Tom House:
Later today we'll fill you in on all that happened.
