The Sport of Rodeo
Rodeo is a competitive sport practiced in many countries.  The sport evolved from the work and tasks vaqueros, cowboys and horse wranglers-both men and women-performed daily. 

Some events are timed where each cowboy or cowgirl competes against the clock.  Other events are judged and points are determined and awarded based on the skill and quality of the competitor performing the work. You may see a competitor request a “re-ride” in an event.  If something outside the competitor’s control materially affects the competitor’s chance to compete fairly against others, for example a bucking horse that refuses to buck, the judge may award the competitor a re-ride.

The usual time-honored and traditional events in rodeo are Calf Roping, Team Roping, Bull Riding, Barrel Race, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding and Steer Wrestling.  Each of these events, with the possible exception of Bull Riding, is just part of the cowboy and cowgirls’ daily work routine. 

YOU CAN JOIN THE FUN!

Mutton Bustin'

We will again have Mutton Bustin this year both Friday and Saturday nights. This event is open to kids ages 3 to 5 years old that weight 55 lbs or less. There is a $10 entry fee and a liability waiver must be signed by a parent.

*Due to the large number of kids wanting to participate, this year's registration will be done by lottery. Look for the sign up booth near the bandstand at the south end of the arena. Beginning at 6:00 pm, we will begin handing out numbers to potential contestants. At 7:15 pm we will draw 20 kids from the pool of numbers. Ten will get to ride before the rodeo and ten to be contestants in the show to compete for a trophy. Entry fee is only required by the ten kids chosen to participate in the show. Safety equipment not provided but you may bring your own.

HEB Steer Saddling Challenge

Can you put a saddle on a wild steer and then ride it? Friday and Saturday nights are Open steer saddling. Contestants can register at the booth near the bandstand on the south end of the arena beginning at 6:00 pm.
