Riding high at Mt Carbine
AN excellent crowd braved cool conditions at Mt Carbine on Saturday to witness the thrills and spills of the arena as cowboys from across the region competed in the annual Bull and Bronc ride.
While the organisers were very happy with the large crowd, there was a lack of nominations for four of the 10 events. However there was plenty of action regardless, with Leith Malone taking out the Open Bull Ride.
Unfortunately no riders nominated to ride the feature bull, “High Hopes”, but the younger riders shone through, with hot competition in several categories.
Alan Gilbo took out the Rookie/Novice Bull Ride, while Jake Simpson had a great night, winning both the Junior Bull and Steer Ride categories.
Tristian Pye came second to Simpson in both categories.
Scout Murray took out the honours in the Poddy Ride (3-7 years), winning the title ahead of Lynton Ford (2nd) and Joseph Jackson (3rd).
In the Mini Bull Ride (Under 15), Ryan Jasczyszy came through as the winner ahead of Shane Dyer (2nd) and Brayden Spena (3rd).
