Bull Riding

Bull riding is a quintessential part of any rodeo event and something that most people look forward to. Want to see the top-shelf bull riders against the biggest, baddest bulls in town? Oh yeah, we've got you covered!

Saddle Bronc Riding

Finesse, balance, agility, and a whole lot of bravery are what the riders will need when they're trying not to get thrown off by a bucking bronco. This is probably the most tumultuous eight seconds of your life that you'll witness!

Team Roping

Witness the gutsiest and most skillful ropers this side of town. The goal is for a pair of cowboys to rope a steer as quickly as humanly possible. Team Roping is highly competitive because of the challenge of the animal itself, plus the split-second communication required with each other.

Steer Wrestling

Have you heard of the expression as strong as an ox? Well, for this event, the person needs to be even stronger! Also known as bulldogging, steer wrestling brings into focus the sheer strength and technique. The steer is literally wrestled to a standstill.

Bareback Riding

Combine the quickest horses and the most agile riders, and you get bareback riding! Bareback riding pits a bronc against a rider who uses just rigging to hold on to without a saddle. The rules are simple—don't get thrown off or disqualified.

Tie-Down Roping

No rodeo event is quite complete without riders showing off these skills in a tie-down roping event. The goal for the cowboy is to quickly immobilize a calf using just a rope while mounted on their horse. "It needs perfect understanding between horse and man", says Kenneth from a leading Dallas SEO Agency.

Barrel Racing

Barrel racing is a ride against time around three barrels in a cloverleaf pattern. It combines quicksilver feet, tremendous athleticism, and razor-sharp balance from both the horse and the rider. The way these majestic animals and their riders move will leave you awestruck!
