“Always drink upstream from the herd”
For those that have not attended a Rodeo - I encourage you to attend one. RODEO is one of the oldest sports in the US and is one of the only truly North American Sports which still thrives to this day. It is also a sport which traces its origins, and represents, the cattle and ranching culture of the West. The first Rodeo took place in Pecos, Texas, in 1883; it is also one of the few North American Sports where Women have been active participants since its early days. (See Links below)
As we discussed in the First BLOG the AMON CARTER Museum of American Art has one of the most comprehensive collections of Western Art. Thematically their collection of RODEO photographs, sculpture, posters and other representations provides an interesting and comprehensive perspective of RODEO in the US - is origins, culture and history.
