COWBOY UP
415 Gunderson
Bracing for impact, Brett Gunderson of Reno, Nevada gets bucked off Rampage during Sunday afternoon’s first round of the bull riding competition at the Oakdale PRCA Rodeo. Rampage got the better of this match up, as Gunderson had to be helped out of harm’s way by the bullfighters in the arena at the Oakdale Saddle Club rodeo grounds. Photo By Marg Jackson
