Excellent Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I've read almost all the non-fiction rodeo books currently in print--from Chris LeDoux's Gold Buckle Dreams to the other coffee table books, and this is by far the most comprehensive, accurate "Rodeo 101"-type book.It's not full of road stories or psychology or Hollywood flash, but if you want to get screwed down tight on the basics of rodeo, this is The One. Great photos, too...
Western Opinion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This great book re-defines rodeo as a serious sport informed by the rich ranching tradion of the West. It is the only sport that has grown out of a way of life. Campion's love of the events and animals shows through again and again. Her understanding of the process and attention to detail informs all who read the book. This is a great addition to the genre, the best.
A Great Gift

This book unfolds the legend of Rodeo. Between the entrancing photographs and the insider's view into this unique world, Campion beautifully captures a tradition that is the last vestige of the American West. The perfect gift for the rodeo enthusiast or anyone new to the sport.
Beautiful and thorough

Lynn Campion has done the unthinkable: she's written a readable coffee table book. Each rich photograph is worthy of the 1,000 words that follow, providing the reader with a behind-the-scenes look at the art and sport of rodeo.
Outstanding!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is the perfect book to appreciate the art of Rodeo. It captures all the details from behind the scenes, giving the true flavor of what Rodeo is all about. From the cowboys to the animals that are so integral to the sport, you learn about the incredible effort and care that goes into every aspect. The photos are fantastic, capturing moments that often go unseen. After reading it, and absorbing all the intricate photographs, you never look at Rodeos quite the same way again. Highly Reccomend.
