Uncle Joe and the Cutting event

We found out before leaving the ranch that Uncle Joe was going to be competing in Big Piney on this day in a Cutting Event!

We made sure to leave ourselves plenty of time to get there from Jackson, and indeed we did get there in just 1 hr 30 min. Turns out this is a real small place and the people attending the event were pretty much just the competitors themselves. It was so cool to watch him ride his horse Jethro!  They spent a long time riding around in circles getting warmed up/ calmed down, and finally it was their turn to compete.

Here is a video of Joe and Jethro performing...
After they finished we said goodbye and hit the road. Miles still to go today! But we were all so glad that we got to be here to watch a real live cutting event!
