This is the kick off.

This is what starts the whole thing.

Tomorrow's parade is the beginning of the rodeo.

Back in 1954 guys started this ride from Brenham to Houston, and it is what it is now over 3000.

What they do is they stop at different high schools, churches, other facilities to present the Western heritage, too.

For me, it's just it's kind of like reliving the old days coming in from homeboys out, you know, just the comrade rib of hanging out with people and been around horses.

We've been doing this since Saturday.

We started in Magnolia at a place way, did a little short circle ride to make sure we had all the bugs out.

And then Monday morning been hit hard.

Neighbor tradition is to keep the Western heritage alive in Texas is important to everybody in the Livestock show in rodeo.
