Bareback Bronc Riding is one of rodeo’s most challenging events, where the rider must stay on a bucking horse for 8 seconds using only one hand. Saddle Bronc Riding features a rider using a special saddle and braided rein to stay on a bucking horse for 8 seconds. Ranch Bronc Riding features everyday cowboys, not pro riders, on a bucking horse for 8 seconds. Bull Riding challenges riders to stay on a bucking bull for 8 seconds without touching the bull, themselves or their equipment with their free hand. Barrel Racing is a fast-paced event where riders and their horses race around 3 barrels in a cloverleaf pattern, aiming for the quickest time. Rising Stars of Rodeo showcases the next generation of rodeo talent in classic competition categories. Mutton Bustin’ is for kids 2 to 7 who weigh less than 60 lbs. with sign-ups taking place each performance from 5 to 7 p.m.
