Sep 28, 2011 Sports

 

 

Its Rodeo time again on the West Coast of Berbice at the Rising Sun Turf Club West Coast Berbice as the Rising Sun Rodeo Committee brings off another grand one day action packed event on Sunday October 30 beginning at 11:00 hrs.
The event has by now become an annual affair. According to president of the Rising Sun Rodeo Committee Inshanally Habibulla, this year there will see a number of new features as the event get bigger every year.
He stated once again that the idea of bringing the event to the coast is to help those who are interested in the sport and have never seen the activity and are unable to travel to the interior, to be able to see what a rode is like and participate in the fun filled and thrilling events. It will be a day full of thrills, skills and excitement with vaqueros from throughout the country expected to display their skills.
A number of regular events are listed for the day including steer roping, bare back bronco, male and female barrel race, wild cow milking, calf roping, wild bull riding, and saddle bronco and the popular Tug o War event along with the new events which Mr. Habibulla does not want to disclose at this time.
He stated that Vaqueros (cow boys) are expected from overseas including Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela to match skills with their Guyanese counterparts.
Locals are expected from the Interior locations of Guyana including Lethem and the Rupununi Savannahs. While closer to home Cowboys from the West Coast Berbice, the Corentyne and Berbice River will also be in action.
Once again there will also be the Rodeo King and Queen competition.
According to Habibulla, the “best” vaqueros will be on show’ and a number of incentives will be available. He stated that the event has now become a regular feature on the Rising Sun calendar.
