Nearly 120 young contestants from different parts of British Columbia were in 100 Mile House for the 2014 Little Britches Rodeo on May 17.
It rained a lot, but the budding cowboys and cowgirls rode hard and fast in a number of exciting events in the dirt and mud that was the grounds at the Outriders’ Arena.
“It’s one of the those things that go on no matter what the weather is,” says organizer Denise Little. “There were diehards that stayed right to the end.”
Most of the entries were members of the BC Little Britches Rodeo Association working towards year-end points, as well as prizes, Little adds.
“We have been told that we are the number 1 rodeo on the Little Britches circuit for the quality of the prizes and for the program we put out. So a big thank you to all the sponsors who make this possible.
“It was a good rodeo, in spite of the rain everything did run smoothly and in spite of the late finish it was good. Everyone left happy, even if they were wet and muddy.”
