As Rodeo time draws nearer the Rodeo Fever is beginning to catch on with Preparatory works heightening for the annual grand one day rodeo organized by the Rodeo Committee of the Rising Sun Turf Club set for Arima Park West Coast Berbice on Sunday October 30 from 11:00hrs.
With the anticipated Skills, thrills and spills expected to take centre stage once again along with the Rodeo King and Queen Competition holding its own, interest already is being shown for both events.
The Shariff sisters, defending Rodeo Queen Aeyshia Sheriff and Yasmin Shariff, will be looking for another crowning performance, but they will have to first get past former queen Ranyela Nascimento of Brazil, Shellon Abrams of Brazil and a number of former and new entrants. The Brazilians will be looking to hold on to the reigns of the King competition with the likes of Beto Saraivo, Ranvendo Antonio and Odo Peters among others.
Coordinator Inshanally Habibulla stated that he is pleased with the way things are going so far. He stated that so far about 12 events are listed for the day. Among them are steer roping, bare back bronco, male and female barrel race, wild cow milking, calf roping, wild bull riding, saddle bronco along with the Rodeo King and Queen Competition and the popular Tug o War events.
A number of other novelty events are also carded for the days programme included the Beer drinking competition, winding down on Horses back etc.
The venue is getting a ‘do over’ and already the arena has been ploughed and is being reset with regular wetting and rolling.
Vaqueros (cow boys) are expected from overseas including Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela to match skills with their Guyanese counterparts and according to the veteran Horseman and cattle owner, a number of local riders have been visiting the Rising Sun arena to enhance their skills. Locals are expected from the Interior locations of Guyana including Lethem and the
