Learning’ the ropes of a great Canadian sport

Spruce Point Park Junior Rodeo committee hosted a free fun night May 15 in the new indoor horse arena for ages 5-18 years to experience riding in a rodeo. Children and youth took their turn in various rodeo events and also watched adults participate in planned events such as barrel racing, pole bending, calf roping, breakaway, goat tying, and team roping.
