- COMPETITIVE RODEO EVENTS -


BAREBACK BRONC RIDING:
 Emphasizes the balance of the rider as only one hand on a rigging strap helps him to stay aboard his bucking mount.

TIE DOWN ROPING:
 Test both horse and cowboy as they work together to rope and tie a calf weighing up to 350 pounds in a race against the clock.

SADDLE BRONC RIDING:
 Brings horse and rider together in a classic del as the cowboy attempts to stay atop the bronc's back for 8 seconds.

BULL RIDING:
 The most dangerous of all rodeo events, pits the cowboy's courage and riding skill against the speed and power of a 1500 pound bull.

TEAM ROPING:
 Pits a pair of contestants in a race against the clock as the "header" ropes a steer's horns while the heeler attemps to lasso its hind legs.

STEER WRESTLING:
 Is a timed event in which the cowboy leaps from his running horse, grabs a steer's horns, and attemps to throw the animal to the ground.

BARREL RACING:
 Features the skill of the cowgirl as she races her horse against the clock in cloverlead fashion around a series of three barrels.
