Riding Strong

The two local riders featured in The News-Gazette ahead of the Lone Star Rodeo at the Virginia Horse Center last month scored high in the competition. ABOVE, Ben Ford concentrates on getting Bronc X10’s head up for the high score in the Ranch Rough Stock Bronc competition. The Greenville native and Buena Vista resident scored 70 points for that division’s first place. AT LEFT, Sadie Floyd of Buena Vista makes her score on Bronc 028 in the Ranch Rough Stock Division, scoring 66 points for her ride, earning her second place in the division. (Lone Star Rodeo photos)
