rddelliott gave you good input...there isn't any gear list for you I can see to go on so .....always use spot focus to lessen stray focus issues and use the chest area of the participant with enough aperture vs ambient light to insure depth of field for inclusion of animal if that's your preferred intention. ...personally I'd forego wide angle as the point of interest is the competitor, ive never heard anyone of them request noisy additional background stuff.........the tighter you can pull in on them to isolate them the better....input for next time:
image1#...breakaway roper, they like that overhanging loop like you caught there... as well as when their rope pops off with flag flying when the timer stops their clock on a catch. they'll stop the horse hard, get the calf out front with rope and flag flying with horse on a full stop, requires a head on position at arena end, if that's not do-able then get the image you have along with the stop\slide and hankerchief-flag leaving the saddle horn
image2#...pan shot of the barrel racer, good execution on your part, head on's coming off the barrel is an expected another but something different they like is when the animal is slowing down to make the turn itself, they'll throw big waves of dirt sliding around the barrel, catch that....the position of being midway wrapped around the barrel during the turn, isn't of a lot of interest to them as a whole but you can pull in tight to get facial intensity of the contestant and the eyes of the animal focused on not coming over the top of the barrell .
image3#the pickup men working are my favorites.....there isn't more athleticism than that job in any other sport....they are running wide open, balancing the contestant, the animal, getting it snubbed up to release flankstraps and get it out of the arena safely......the pickup man requires a working companion that is stronger than you know and allows the man to do his job as safe as possible all while moving 25mph
images of rough stock, get the full extension of the animal or catch it showing a lot of drop, head tucked down while back is fullly arched and feet off the ground
bullriders...same as pick up men, focused\include on the protectors of the contestants....tie down ropers....catch them during dismount before their foot hits the ground.....have fun.....info for the OP
