Great series!  I especially like the men lined up with their white cowboy hats and the girl pulling the reins of her excited horse. 

Thank you. Yeah, the women barrel racers were amazing. I wasn't getting very good shots of them from the stands going around the actual barrels, so I went down to the chute where they took off and came back in. Their horses would shoot out like a cannon.

After dozens of posts in the M246 thread, this is my first in this thread, because, after resisting for a year, I sold the M246 and bought the M10M.  We (finally) had a rainstorm in the San Franc

I don't think the horse is just "excited." It's reacting to the pain of having the bit jerked hard.

It's probably both.  I've owned and ridden horses for 44 years, my wife for 64 years, and the reason the girl is pulling back on the reins is because the horse was excited.  Horses get really keyed up at these events, especially barrel races.  I doubt if the horse was standing there, calm and docile, when the girl suddenly jerked the reins.  Rather, this horse probably was very excited, which caused the girl to pull back on the reins.  Look at her fists - if she were jerking, the small fingers would be the most flexed of the digits, to impart the greatest force.  She doesn't need a lot of force, or a jerk, because that is a very severe bit in the horse's mouth, and it probably is exerting a significant amount of pain just with that pull.  So, the horse is likely excited because it wants to run the barrels, but it's also in pain, because the girl is trying to hold it back.  

Most equestrian sports these days unfortunately are not about the horse, they're about glory for the rider or profit for the owner.  An appalling number of thoroughbred horses are mortally injured every year by racing them too young and too hard.  Same for three day event horses and jumping horses, as the jumps get higher and higher.  Dressage riders are often cited for abuse with the whip.  Cart horses for tourists in large cities get painful navicular necrosis.  Many endurance horses die after being ridden too hard over 50 to 100 miles.  The worst in my mind is the abuse of Tennessee Walking Horses, who continue to be sored just to make them step higher in competitions.  

Horses are gentle, wonderful creatures, who generally only want to please their owner, so they often tolerate behaviors that can be abusive.  Like I said, all too often, it's not about the horse.  If it were, we probably would not have most of the equestrian "sports."

I agree with you. In my opinion, rodeos are designed for abuse. They want horses to buck like hell and the cinches insure that will happen. Calf roping and bull riding are also brutal and disgusting. I was pleased about one thing in the photo series posted, and that's the fact that the stands were only about 1/4 full.

There used to be an annual rodeo held here in my city, sponsored by a wealthy car dealership owner. I was asked to shoot it for him one year and flatly refused.

The number of equine deaths at California race tracks is appalling--well over 100 last year. Yet they continue.
