 Tens of thousands of people attend the livestock show and rodeo in Houston, Texas. Some come to see cowboys competing in events like cowboy-mounted shooting. Shooting while on horseback was uncommon in the historic Old West, but it is often seen in movies about the West. Those movies led Jim Rogers, the chairman of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association, to start this event more than 20 years ago. Cowboys shooting off a horse is part of Americana, but we wanted to capture it. No one gets shot in this event, just balloons. Because moving the horse around the targets quickly takes skill, not strength. The event has many women competitors, including Annie Blanco. It's definitely an equestrian sport, and so 80% is riding. You have to be a really good rider to do the sport, and then the rest is gun handling. The guns do not fire bullets. They fire black powder that produces a lot of fire and smoke. The burning particles break the balloon. Annie Chaplin has been competing for 15 years. It's loud, it's smoky, it's wild, it's wild west. Most of us drop our reins on our horse for about 35 miles an hour, just shooting as fast as we can, and boy it's fun, it's exciting. The gunfire is great, but just to see them be able to maneuver the horse the way they do. I'm Ted Landfair.
