Dad is a rodeo clown (not sure using the right terminology) he helps when the bull rider gets bucked off and distracts the bull so the rider can get to safety. At halftime they do a mutton contest . About 5 children ages 3-5 get a chance to try and ride a sheep by holding on around the sheeps neck. The son gets to help round the sheep back in the pen. I guess one day he'd like to be just like his dad.
The kids riding the sheep is called "Mutton Busting."
Darling image. Well captures. Tells a great story.
