Dannevirke cowboy Lane Whitelock fights gravity at the Waimate Rodeo. 

He was one of  the competitors taking part in the Waimate Rodeo Club’s 61st annual event on Saturday. Spectators  watched bull,  steer and horse  riding.

Club junior vice-president Hamish Wall said no competitors or animals were injured in what was a great event.

"Everything along those lines was great."

He said rodeo was way of life for a lot of people in the area and the event gave people a stage on which to show their skills.

"We run a good rodeo, which is what we need to keep doing."
