RODEO '95

The Gisborne Rodeo attracted riders from all over the North Island & Australia who tried to do their thing infront of a very appreciative crowd. The men had 8 seconds to impress the judges which made for some spectacular body positions. The ladies raced the clock in the barrel races & the youngsters gave it a go on calves or sheep. See y'all at the next Rodeo.
