JT signed Beckham up weeks ago for this event. Beckham has been practicing some with JT, but mostly he has just been talking about it. He has been really excited! When his day to ride finally came, he was ready to go. He looked mighty fine in his cowboy attire!
Berkley and Beckham were both excited to get to the arena where the stick horse rodeo would take place. They had checked things out the night before with Marmie and JT, so they knew exactly where to take us.
We definitely had some excited little cowpokes to say the least.
Once we got inside, JT took care of business and got Beckham registered.
Beckham got his number on and took off with his faithful horse in hand to get warmed up.
I got one last hug from my little cowboy before I had to be seated.
Matt got to stay with Beckham in the arena.
He was even able to give him a few tips before the bull riding event began.
Beckham seemed to be taking this rodeo very seriously. He did a great job warming up.
He and Daddy took a break to check out some of the competition.
However, these other little cowpokes had nothing on Beckham. He scored a 54 in his bull riding event which landed him in first place! That's right... Beckham is the new stick horse rodeo champion. He even has the belt buckle to prove it!
Beckham was all smiles when he saw his new buckle.
Daddy helped him put it on his belt right away. He couldn't seem to get it on fast enough for Beckham.
Soon enough, however, Beckham was proudly showing off his shiny new buckle!
JT was pretty proud of this little cowboy too!
It takes a tough cowboy to ride a bull. Here is the crew showing me their cowboy (or cowgirl) faces!
Once we got outside of the arena, Beckham had to make a few phone calls to his fans who couldn't make the rodeo. He really enjoyed sharing the exciting news!
He couldn't walk farther than a few steps without stopping to check out his buckle. Too cute!
It was definitely a big morning for Beckham.
And I'm pretty sure it is a morning he will never forget!!!

what a memory! pretty sure you have a future cowboy on your hands. :)
Competitive rodeo takes a certain type of person. You must be fearless, have a death wish, and have an affinity for danger, oh and be an adrenaline junkie.
