The leaders of the pack, Tsi Del Del Mountain Race. The photo is about eight years old but remains one of my favourite shots that I've taken. I am crouched behind a log on the other side of the creek.Once they charge down the mountain the riders race across a wide plain to the finish line, the horses kicking up plumes of Chilcotin dust as they run.
A handful of the most experienced horsemen take part in this nerves-of-steel section of the annual rodeo. Tsi Del Del is a small community, but they still put on one of the best rodeos in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.
