Rodeo Pics, Part 2

Here's a shot of a cowboy riding bareback. According to the 48th Annual Folsom Pro Rodeo information booklet, the "pickup man" is a mounted cowboy who helps the rider off of a bronc when the ride is completed. The pickup man also removes the flank strap from the bronc and leads it out of the arena. Well, yes...if the horse is willing to go. (About half the time he's not, which makes the show all the more entertaining.)
