His belt buckle is nearly as big as his face and his trusty steed is a stumpy-legged miniature pony, but the rodeo kid is causing a big stir in the gritty world of barrel racing. Little Royce Gill, from Upper Horton in western New South Wales, Australia should be kicking up tantrums as he goes through the terrible twos but instead he is kicking up the dust on his six-year-old pony Maybelline.
據(jù)英國《每日郵報》近日報道，澳大利亞新南威爾士州年僅2歲大的小男孩Royce Gill在家人的熏陶下，從小骨子里就很喜歡騎馬參加比賽。父親給他配備了一匹6歲大的小型馬“美寶蓮”。

It is perhaps no surprise the young cowboy has taken to the sport, which involves racing around barrels at high-speed and requires precise levels of horsemanship, as he is the seventh-generation rodeo rider in his family. Standing in front of his beloved animal Royce, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the character Woody from the film Toy Story, is competed in his first competition against under 18s last week at the Beaudesert Rodeo and although he failed to win a place he has plenty of time to catch up with his much older compatriots.
大約兩周前，Royce帶領”美寶蓮“參加了博德瑟特牛仔競技賽。在18歲以下年齡組中，他與對手同場競技。盡管沒能取得名次，人們還是把“世界最年輕牛仔”稱號送給了他。
