TEAM ROPING – Two ropers are needed because of the size of the animal. The Steer is given the head start, and the cowboys have to catch up. One cowboy ropes the steer around its horns while the other ropes the legs. Quickest time wins.
WOMEN’S BARREL RACING – for women on horseback, showing teamwork between rider and horse. Any barrel knocked over adds a five-second penalty to the time.
WILD HORSE RACE – Teams of cowboys scramble to saddle and ride “wild horses.”
