Quail Dobbs Memorial Kindergarten Rodeo with my Favorite Texas beauties… Hannah (Miss Rodeo TX Teen) & Kate (Miss Rodeo TX Princess)
For those that knew the amazing Mr. Quail Dobbs, they are truly blessed and fortunate. Now, if you were a kid growing up in Coahoma Texas you not only knew who Quail Dobbs was but you knew that being a part of his Kindergarten Rodeo was like a rite of passage into being a “Big KID”! Mr. Dobbs brought the sport and his love for Rodeo to his home town of Coahoma and the Coahoma Elementary school 36 years ago and there was no better way to honor his memory than to carry on his legacy.
Every good rodeo starts with the posting of our flags!
At the World’s greatest Kindergarten Rodeo, the whole school gets together to watch the Kindergarten class put on their very own rodeo c0mplete with an announcer, pick up men, pivot setters, clowns and of course… rodeo queens!
My favorite part was during the Bronc Riding event. After the “rider” was done, the “pick-up” man would ride out and pick the cowboy up and he would ride out on the back of his horse! It was absolutely the cutest thing ever! They also had a barrel racing event for the kids and they were kind enough to let Kate, Hannah and I take a turn. We all gave it a good run, but those kindergarten kids are professionals and were hard to beat 😉 Ultimately it was truly an honor to be a part of something so special and unique, to celebrate Mr. Dobbs Legacy and experience the happiness that rodeo brings to people of all ages.
On behalf of Kate, Hannah and myself, Thank you to the Dobbs family and the Coahoma Elementary school! Real horses – or Stick… the Quail Dobbs Memorial Coahoma Kindergarten Rodeo is definitely the REAL DEAL!
From the Coahoma Kindergarten Rodeo Crew – to You!
