Rodeo time! - 04/26/15 09:19 PM

Rode back in the day, miss it at times. Watched a couple sons of my old travel partners compete . I Worked and rode at Mesquite Arena and scored some great seats. Got a few pics, I apologize for the pic quality.




Bull named Black Velvet, hard to tell from pic, but his hind end is rolled completely sideways. Magnificent animal.

This young man is a friend of my sons from Stephenville, only man to cover a bull and won it all.

Awesome pics! Last time I was there was about 4 years ago. A neighbor has a suite there and wasn't going to use it on opening day so he offered it to me complete with a fridge full of beer, and all you can eat chicken and beef fajitas. I got together a group of people and we had a blast!!!

The Mcllvains , Frank Sr. To be exact , was involved in bullfighting with Mesquite Rodeo for 40 years, his sons rode bulls and were bullfighters. Terry and Glen rode bulls, Frank Jr., Chris, and Lance are/were bullfighters.
A few others filled in over the years.

Know who your talking about. The friend im talking about was in the early 80's late 70's. His name is David Burnham. Used to run with his brother. His dad used to ride before it was PRCA and he rode for a long time in the Old Timers. Was just remembering the olds myself. Thank you sir!!!!!
