The competition was fierce and the crowd energy was high at the Virginia Horse Center Friday night as the Lone Star Rodeo roared into the Anderson Coliseum. The evening started off with bareback bronco riding (top left and right). In the second half, the ladies of the rodeo showed off their barrel racing skills (center right). The men showed their prowess in steer wrestling (bottom right). Chance Holland of Lexington (below center) was the leader in Friday night’s bull riding event, and (below left) a rider endeavors to haul in a calf in the calf roping event. The Lone Star Rodeo, based in Crofton, Ky., offered up a second show on Saturday night. (Joann Ware photos)
