Rodeo Event Descriptions

Pony Express Relay
This event pays tribute to one of the fondest memories of the Wild West, the Pony Express. It is a fast-paced event that will pit tonight’s 2 teams against each other as well as rider vs. rider simultaneously. The object is to pick up or drop off their flag in the can at the other end as well as either handoff or take from the other rider.

Barrel Racin’
Barrel Racing is an event you will see in every major Rodeo across the U.S. An event for cowgirls only, the riders will take turns running the course in a clover leaf pattern, trying to get as close to the barrels as possible without knocking them over.

Bull Doggin’
Strength and agility will make a cowboy the winner in this event. The cowboys must grab the steer by the horn and flip it on its side, so that all four hooves are off the ground. The fastest time wins.

Team Pennin’
Team Penning is probably the event most connected to the cattle drives and stockyards of the 1800’s. Riders in this event compete to see which team can pen their steer the quickest, but 2 ½ minutes is all they get. The fastest time wins.

3-Man Pickup
Just like it sounds, this event requires a cowboy to pick up three of his friends, one at a time, on horseback. Speed will play a part but so will the grounded cowboys ability to swing up on a moving horse.

Pole Bendin’
Pole Bending is a team event where speed and agility are key. Each team consisting or cowboys or cowgirls will compete at the same time. The object is to weave through a course of poles as fast as possible without knocking any of the poles over. The first team to complete the course will win.

Goat Tying
Goat tying is similar to calf roping. The object is to be the cowboy or cowgirl who is able to flip a goat to its side and tie at least 3 legs in the fastest time. The competitors will ride from one side of the arena to the other and dismount to begin the event.

Steer Ridin’
Bull riding has become so popular, it has its own circuit, the Professional Bull Riders of America (PBR). Steer riding reduces the danger slightly, but still provides an adrenaline rush for the rider and crowd. The object is to stay on the steer for 8 seconds. In the event of a tie, the winner is the one who had the most difficult ride.
