Tie Down Roping Tie down roping is a rodeo event that features a calf and a rider mounted on a horse. The goal of this timed event is for the rider to catch the calf by throwing a lariat around its neck, dismount the horse, run to the calf and restrain it by tying three legs together in a short time. This event comes from the work of actual cowboys who catch and restrain calves for branding or medical treatment.

Breakway Roping

Breakaway roping is a variation of calf roping where a calf is roped, but not thrown and tied.

It is a rodeo event that features a calf and one mounted rider. The calves are moved one at a time through narrow runs leading to a chute with spring-loaded doors.

Ladies Barrel Racing Ladies barrel racing is an event of speed and good horsemanship. The rules of barrel racing are very simple - complete the cloverleaf pattern the fastest. In the ladies barrel racing there is a score line set up about 30 feet away from the first two barrels... it is at that point that the contestant starts and finishes. Once crossing the scoreline, the contestant must make a cloverleaf pattern on the three barrels. Besides the speed that a barrel horse must have, the horse must have a good rein and be able to change leads as it begins its turn around the barrel.

PLUS... Pony Rides, Kids Train, Balloon Creations, a Wandering Magician and more!

Bull Riding Bull riding is one of the most exciting events in rodeo action and danger all in one package. As tough as it is, riding the bull is the easy part. Where it gets hard is when a bull rider gets jerked down on to the bull’s head or gets stepped on and run over by the massive beast. The score is based on 50% for the rider and 50% for the bull. The rider’s score is usually about the same as the bull, give or take a couple of points depending upon control. It is very important for a bull rider to draw a high ranked bull. Bull riding is more than just brute strength and hanging on! Good bull riders have a good hold on the bull with their spurs and that takes the power away from the riding hand.

When the bull jumps and hits the ground it will probably move the rider’s feet back forcing him to get a new hold with his spurs. Beside the hustle with his feet, a bull rider must use his free arm to balance himself during the ride. A good bull rider makes moves with his free arm in front of his body. If the bull rider makes his free arm move behind his body, he will get strung-out on the bull and probably get jerked down on the bull’s head.

Beside the skill of riding bulls, there is more mental preparation in bull riding that any other event. A bull rider knows what can happen, but has to clear that out of his mind when he gets ready to ride. Bull riding is about 25% talent and 75% mental. This is what separates the average bull riders from the good ones. It may sound a little strange but you have to want to get on bulls and enjoy it!

Saddle Bronc Saddle bronc riding is the cornerstone of rodeo, a combining a good bucking horse and a skilled rider. As with all riding events, the horse and rider are marked separately.

For a good saddle bronc horse, look for a horse that kicks high every jumps and bucks consistently throughout the entire ride. Judges like this type of horse and even more if this horse changes direction a lot of times during the ride.

Another type of horse that will get marked fairly high, will be a horse that ducks and dives, but also keeps kicking in this action. Look for a good rider that spurs the horse high in the front end and then in a flowing motion spurring back to the cantle of the saddle.

High marks for the saddle bronc rider are awarded for spurring, so judges have to make sure that the contestant has spur contact with the horse and that he just isn’t “polishing his boots.”

Team Roping Also known as Heading and Heeling, team roping is a rodeo event that features a steer (typically a Corriente) and two mounted cowboys. On one side of the chute is the header whose job is to rope the steer to the left. On the other side of the chute is the heeler whose job is to rope the steer around the hind legs. The header must rope the steer with one of three legal catches: clean horn catch (around both horn), a neck catch (around the neck) or a half-head catch (around the neck and one horn.) The header then takes a dally, that is a couple of wraps of the rope around the horn of the saddle. The heeler waits until the header has turned the steer. When he has a clear way, he throws a loop of rope under the running steer’s hind legs catching them. As soon as the steer is stretched out an official waves a flag and the time is taken.

Bareback A wild eight second ride on a bucking horse without a saddle, rain or stirrups! It is probably the most demanding event on a contestant’s body. As in all riding events, the score is based on half the animal’s performance and half on the rider’s. A contestant wants a strong bucking horse that jumps and kicks hard, and also changes direction.

Since half of the points are from the horse it is an important factor in the over all score. When watching a bareback ride, look for a contestant that spurs the horse in the shoulders and then spurs up to his hand holds in his rigging. A good bareback ride is when a contestant does this on every jump. A very important rule in saddle bronc and bareback is when the rider has to mark out the horse. This means the first time that the horse’s front feet hit the ground, the rider must have both feet over the break point of the shoulders and touching the animal. When a cowboy has a good horse and a good spur ride that’s what counts the most.

Beer Gardens Open Until 10 pm Sunday!

Steer Wrestling Steer wrestling is a big man’s sport. Winning runs may be done in four or five seconds. In steer wrestling there are many factors: horses, the steer and the rider. The steer wrestler has a helper called the “Hazer”. The steer wrestler starts from behind a barrier.

He has to know how to judge cattle so he can avoid getting a ten second penalty for breaking the barrier before the steer. If the steer gets too much of a head start, the steer wrestler will not be able to catch him. The steer wrestler comes down on the left side of the running steer, must stop its forward and take it down. To be scored for a legal run, the steer must be thrown on its left side with all four feet straight out. While the steer wrestling is very fast event, it is also a very complex event and all things have to be done right in order to have a winning run.

Goat Tying Goat tying is a fast-paced rodeo event. The object is to race to the end of the rodeo arena to where a goat is staked out on a 10’ rope (The distance from the starting line to the stake is usually 100 feet or so.). Contestants dismount their horse while it is sliding to a stop or running and race to the staked-out goat, which must be flipped to its side, in order to tie together three of its legs with a leather, nylon or cotton rope. Finally, contestant signals with their hands to indicate the end of their run. The contestant with the fastest time wins. There are penalties that may be added to the run at the judges’ discretion such as a disqualification if the goat becomes untied during the 5 second tie period and 10 seconds added to a time for the horse crossing the staked rope.
