-
Experience the adrenaline as riders attempt to stay atop a bucking bull for eight seconds. It's a test of courage, balance, and sheer determination.
-
A traditional rodeo event where riders use a specialised saddle to stay on a bucking horse. It combines strength, rhythm, and style.
-
Also known as "bulldogging," this event involves a rider jumping from their horse onto a running steer, aiming to wrestle it to the ground in the shortest time. It's a display of strength and technique.
-
Riders hold onto a rigging with one hand while a powerful horse bucks beneath them. Without a saddle, it's one of the most physically demanding rodeo events.
-
Two riders work in tandem: the "header" ropes the steer's horns, and the "heeler" ropes its hind legs. Success hinges on perfect timing and teamwork.
-
A classic rodeo challenge where the cowboy ropes a calf, dismounts, and ties three of its legs together in the fastest time. It demands strength, speed, and technique.
-
In this fast-paced event, the rider must rope a calf as quickly as possible. Once roped, the rope "breaks away" from the saddle, stopping the clock. It's a showcase of speed and precision.
-
A dynamic event where riders chase down a running steer, aiming to remove a ribbon from its back in the shortest time. It tests timing, coordination, and horsemanship.
-
Watch as skilled cowgirls and their horses race against the clock, weaving through a cloverleaf pattern of barrels with precision and speed. It's a thrilling display of agility and partnership.
