Pickup men of the rodeo 1-25-13 photos

A lot of people don't think about the pick up men of the rodeo. They keep the riders safe so many times. They also take the bucking strap off the horse and get the horse out of the arena. They have to be extremely good horseman. They not only have to keep their horse under control in exciting situations but another horse bumping into them at a dead run.  They also have to be able to keep themselves in the saddle while a man grabs a hold of them while the horse is bucking and hitting their horse and
get that rider safely on the ground.  They are the hero's of the bucking horse riders.

I think they are the un-sung heroes of rodeo.
