One of the reasons I love covering the sport of rodeo so much is the toughness and competitiveness of the rodeo athletes. While some major professional sports athletes will sit on the sidelines with finger issues (I’m looking at you Major League Baseball), rodeo participants will compete with aches and pains AND rain or shine.

Although it rained all weekend long and left Sunday afternoon’s competitors to run in the sloppiest conditions, Nebraska tie down roper Riley Pruitt ignored it all to power through the rain coming down and the mud coming up for a successful defense of his 2022 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo title (June 04, 2023). On top of earning back-to-back titles, Pruitt’s soggy win run was cheered by stands still filled with die-hard rodeo fans in Elizabeth, CO.

It ain’t raining… it’s just rodeo.

My photo spread from the last weekend of the 2023 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) has been published on the website of The Fence Post magazine. More than 100,000 people visited the NWSS during its final weekend (January 21-22, 2023) https://www.thefencepost.com/news/2023-nwss-ends-strong/

I had a great time covering the 2023 NWSS for publication. I hope my articles and photography from there have been enjoyable to see and read.

I’ve been on a a bit of a self-induced content creation blitz the last week or so as the award winning Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo is coming up quick (first weekend of June). This latest video is a fast-paced piece that is a compilation of my photography of that rodeo over the years 2003-2021. It’s been a pleasure to cover that rodeo for publication in numerous magazines over the last couple of decades. Click on the link or the image to go to the video on the Rumble platform.

The Elizabeth Stampede’s Blazing Saddles drill team impressed the crowd with a patriotic routine during Sunday afternoon’s Red, White and Blue Rodeo (June 05, 2016).

I hope you enjoy!
