The Art & Joy of Rodeo at Windsong Farm

Jim Bob Clayman, along with his wife, Kelly, rodeo athletes for many years, spend much of their time these days at Windsong Farms, where they pass along their equestrian skills to a mostly younger generation of riders.   They’re joined on their Georgetown, Texas spread by their boys, Payden Cash Clayman and Ryden Rope Clayman.    One of the highlights of their instruction each year is their Clayman Rodeo, held right on the premises.   The competitors take part in barrel racing, breakaway roping, team roping and pole bending.   There’s a calf scramble for the little folks, plus a really funny rodeo clown!

This year’s rodeo, held last Saturday, is their 21st.   If the crowd on hand to watch is any indication, I think they’ll be around for many good years to come.   Here are a few photos I took for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.
