2014 Mutton Busting

 Marcus did Mutton Busting again this year.  This might be his last year since you have to be under 60 pounds.


 
His sisters were there to cheer him on.
 
 
He got all of his gear on...ready to go.

 
Go Marcus...look at him ride!
 
 
He rode that sheep all the way to the end...he rode longer than the required 6 seconds!  He received 79.5 total points and was the rider to beat! 

 
We watched the rest of the kids go...great job Marcus!

 
And the end result...Marcus took 1st place!
 
 
We were so proud. 

 
He's a real live cowboy!


 
His sisters were pretty excited for him.  He was pretty excited too.


 
We had to come back to the fair later so Marcus could participate in the championship round. 
 
 
There were 25 kids total...only the 1st place kids from each round could participate.

 
Marcus did an awesome job in the championship but did not score unfortunately.  He was so proud of himself though and had a ton of fun.  Because he took 1st in his round he actually qualifies to compete in Fresno, CA too...pretty cool Marcus.
