the pueblo indians of the southwest
built wonderful houses of mud and clay
see and it says here that the plains
indians
were excellent horsemen weren't they
nomadic
what's nomadic thematic music they moved
from place to place
see they could just fold up their
teepees and set them up somewhere else
neat a big part of western life revolves
around the cattle ranches
cowboys stayed very busy herding cattle
taming
wild horses and roping steers soon they
were having contests between themselves
and the rodeo was born texas is home to
lots of rodeos cowboys ranchers and
pride
so let's head deep in the heart of texas
[Music]
texas
[Music]
is
[Music]
yeah those cowboys used to love sitting
around the fire drinking arbuckle's axle
grease they drank axle grease
that was their name for coffee they'd

thank you christian thank you alexandra
and most especially thank you charmaine
for coming and joining us here today
you're welcome first of all how old were
you when you first
started riding i was six years old when
i started competing and i don't really
remember
the first time i ever rode a horse what
kind of riding did you do at first
um i started off bareback riding because
i was too little to put a saddle on my
horse and so
when i was big enough to put the saddle
on my horse then i started riding in a
saddle
did you grow up on a ranch uh-huh i grew
up on a ranch and
and i rode with my dad and my sisters
and we looked after the cattle and all
kinds of fun stuff
tell us about your horse my horse's name
is camper he got his name because
he's campered around the barrels my dad
thought of his name
he's a brown horse and he's 17 years old
he's a great horse i've won over a
million dollars on him
and he's a lot of fun he's wonderful is
your buckle one of the things you won
i have 10 buckles just like this and
this is what we work for all year long
to try and win a gold buckle at the end
of the year
can you explain to us what barrel racing
is barrel racing is a timed event it's
run around
three barrels in a cloverleaf pattern
it's timed with an electric timer
and when you cross the timer it starts
your time and when you cross back over
and on the way
when you're finished it stops the time
rodeo riders are really strong
how do you guys stay in shape i stay in
shape by riding
and when we're traveling we have to
clean stalls and carry water buckets and
so i don't actually go and work out but
it's a workout just having horses
are there a lot of real cowboys left
there's lots of real cowboys left
what advice do you have for kids who
want to be rodeo riders
