International Pro Rodeo Association delights families Friday and Saturday

Cowboys rush to aid a rider getting ready to exit his horse during the bare back competition portion of the International Professional Rodeo Association rodeo Saturday evening at the Mathewson Exhibition Center. The rider received 75 points for his jaw-jarring ride. “It’s like fist fight for about eight seconds!” the announcer said of the horse and rider. The horses are owned by Six Crowns Rodeo Co.

Sailing through the air on a bucking bronc, a rider at the IPRA rodeo Saturday night receives a score of 64 points. The Rodeo, sponsored and promoted by Todd Pettigrew, was hosted both Friday and Saturday evening at the Mathewson Exhibition Center.

An IPRA judge runs to the side as a rider and horse exit the chute, in a leap of fury, during the bronc riding competition at the rodeo Saturday night on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.

As one cowboy ropes the horns of a steer the other prepares to rope the back feet during the team roping event hosted at the IPRA rodeo Saturday night. The team received a time of 14.6 seconds.

Mark the Wildman, a rodeo clown, gets “blasted” in the seat by rodeo clown and entertainer of the year, Dusty Myers, who was preparing to go “hunting” with a large “shotgun.” Myers told the announcer that he’d just bought the gun that day. “It’s a special gun, a Kim Kardashian gun,” he said. “It’s loud and it has a big end on it.”
