MUTTON BUSTIN’ is a staple of rodeo, budding cowboys and cowgirls ride sheep as long as they can stay on. Judging is based on length of time ridden, difficulty, and of course, style. Kids under 55 pounds and over 4 years of age are eligible for this event, and a prize is awarded to the winner. Entry is $15 per rider and can be registered and paid for in advance.
THE CALF SCRAMBLE, teams of four plan their best strategy to race down the arena, catch a calf, halter it, dress it with a t-shirt, and lead it back across the finish line. Two age groups compete in this hilarious calf-dressing escapade: intermediates (11-14 year-olds) and seniors (15-19 year-olds). Intermediates win ribbons and prizes; the senior winning team each win their own special prize. Entry is $50 per team of 4 and can be registered and paid for in advance.
