CHUTE DOGGING
This variation of steer wrestling allows non-mounted contestants to compete. The cowboy
comes out of a bucking chute holding a steer by the horns. After crossing a line he flips
the steer to the ground with all 4 feet in the air.
GOAT TYING
Commonly seen in high school
and junior rodeos, a goat is tied to a stake. The cowgirl rides across the arena over a
score line to the goat, dismounts, flanks and ties the goat in a manner similar to calf
roping.
STEER/CALF DRESSING
The steer/calf leaves the bucking chute, and a
team of cowboys/cowgirls wrestle the animal long enough to put a pair of panties
on it.
BARREL RACING
Barrel racing is a timed event. At a signal
from the starter, the contestant will run to barrel #1, pass to the left of it
and complete an approximately 360 degree turn around it, then go to barrel #2,
pass to the right of it and complete a slightly more than a 360 degree turn
around it, then go to barrel #3 pass to the right of it and do another
approximately 360 degree turn around it and then sprint to the finish line.
