Blaster34 Loc: Florida Treasure Coast

Wife and I drove through the ranches of Central Florida for a Saturday drive looking for some wildlife. Didn't find any to speak of but did come across a Junior Rodeo in the little ranching town of Kenansville, FL. Had the wrong lens for this event but tried to get some photos anyway. A 200-600 was not the lens for this event, 75-100 yd shots in low light in the arena. And to maintain social distancing, I didn't want to get into any crowds.

We stayed primarily for the goat tying (for girls) where the goat gets to be thrown and tied over & over & over.
Girls were time from the time they entered the arena to when the goat was tied and their hands raised...tough being a goat however it was replaced after about 5 throws.. Some of the arena shots could have been better with a different lens or done by a better shooter. Anyway here are a few of the young kids enjoying a very healthy outing. Download or DDL best in most cases.
