Bright lights, little kids screaming and roping each other, ropers loping around us, trains rolling through with whistles blowing and tons of people, dogs, horses, pickups and trailers, cattle and sheep!Bear was excited to go to his first public outing but responded nicely when cued and remembered all of his training and manners.
We got to the rodeo too late to ride around in the arena during warm up but spent a lot of time out back in the middle of everybody warming up to go in. Bear was attentive to everyone loping around and swinging their ropes, but didn't get nervous or act like he felt he needed to do the same. He waited calm and relaxed for my cues and did his maneuvers like the champ that he is. I was very happy with how the evening progressed.
