IT was weekend great rodeo action at the Charters Towers Equestrian Centre where cowboys from across the country converged to compete in one of North Queensland’s premier rodeo events.
The North Queensland Register was there to capture some of the action on camera but due to camera problems the action shots are limited. Not to worry there are plenty of images of the some of the 600 plus strong rodeo fans who turned out for a weekend of great rodeo.
This rodeo is the breeding ground for junior cowboys and cowgirls to begin their rodeo careers. World champion bull rider Troy Dunne competed here as junior and many other renowned rodeo competitors have use this rodeo to launch their careers.
AT the 2013 Charters Towers Rodeo Allround Cowboy Kids Rocks title went to Braydon Wellby; Allround Cowgirl Kids Rocks was Bianca Canham. Open Saddle Bronc - Jason Carlon; Novice Saddle Bronc - Jason Collins; Junior Bull - Brayden Wellby.
