Take a look at our mega gallery of 111 images of rodeo action over the weekend.
The chutes burst open at the Warwick Rodeo to the delight of thousands of excited spectators and they were not disappointed with the thrills and spills at the showgrounds over the weekend.
The non-stop action included the barrel race, rope and tie, team roping, open bull and bronc rides, mini bull ride and more.
Competitors, some of which travelled more than 24 hours to participate, were put to the test in all events while commentary and rock music blared, hyping up the crowd.
Dust, dirt and adrenaline set everyone’s heart’s racing even those behind the chutes.
The emergency services were kept busy throughout the weekend, however most competitors were able to walk out from the arena to a cheering crowd.
