Local, foreign vaqueros took centre stage at rodeo

Vaqueros from ranches throughout the Rupununi, the West Coast Demerara and from neighbouring Brazil showcased their skills at last weekend’s Rupununi Rodeo, which was called to an abrupt halt on Sunday over security concerns.

However, the cowboys still managed to perform in events such as bareback bronco riding, steer roping, wild cow milking and bull riding among others.
