Rodeo.
A competitive sport that arose out of the working practices of cattle herding in Spain, Mexico, and later Central America, South America, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It was based on the skills required of the working vaqueros and later, cowboys, in what today was the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico.
Nowadays it was a sporting event that involved horses and other livestock, designed to test the skill and speed of the cowboys and cowgirls. Professional rodeos generally comprised the following events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, bull riding and barrel racing. The events wer divided into two basic categories: the rough stock events and the timed events. Depending on sanctioning organization and region, other events such as breakaway roping, goat tying, or pole bending could also be a part of some rodeos.

James Barnes had been around horses all his life. He'd grown up on a farm that still traditionally herded their livestock with cowboys. He watched the men and horses work together as one, and was fascinated by the 1,000 pounds animals.
He was in the saddle even before he could walk, and was a natural talent. The way he communicated with his horses, how sensitive he allowed himself to be around the soft giants made people believe he was a horse whisperer. And perhaps he was, in some way, but he saw his horses as friends, equals, and not as a thing to be used for fame.

Jim was at a competition, getting ready for the Barrel Racing with his stallion, Storm. He saddled up, sat up on the back of his Quarter Horse and rode into the arena, tipping his hat to greet the judges before halting, waiting for the signal to go.
His horse was a beauty, one that turned heads wherever they went. A magnificent Blue Roan, his skin shimmering in the sun.

The sound of a horn was the signal, and without thinking, the horse sprinted away, Jim only gently poking against his sides to make him go faster, holding the reins in his right hand, hardly using them to show Storm where to go. Instead he just used body weight, which helped the horse make faster turns around the barrels.
Jim maneuvered his horse around the three fifty-five gallon metal barrels that were placed in a triangle in the center of an arena with a time of 71 seconds in total.

The audience clapped, and Jim gave Storm some gentle slaps against his neck to show him that he did well. He glanced over to the people standing at the sidelines, noticing his friend Amber, and another young woman standing beside her, tipping his hat at them with a soft smile on his face before riding out of the arena and getting off of his horse.
