Seven Standard Events:

Saddle Bronc Riding

Derived from a cowboy's task of breaking a wild horse, this is rodeo's classic event. Riders hold on to the rein, remain firmly seated, and try to synchronize their spurs to the movements of the horse to achieve the highest score. 

Riders must mark out, or hold both heels above the horse's shoulders as the ride starts — the same rule applies in bareback riding.

2023 Saddle Bronc Results

5	69.0	Trey Watts	Palmyra	MO
6	68.0	T.J. Moore, Jr.	Lisbon	IA

Bareback Riding

Ever ridden a jackhammer with one hand? That's what this event has been compared to. Riders hold on to a leather rigging that's secured with a cinch and aim for a wild, yet controlled ride with points earned by a back-and-forth spurring motion as the horse bucks. 

As in all roughstock events, half the score comes from the animal. No touching with the cowboy's free hand; any illegal contact results in no score.

2023 Bareback Riding Results

Place	Total Score	Contestant Name	City	State
1	80.5	Briar Dittmer	Runnells	IA
2	76.5	Drew Lind	Weyauwega	WI
3	76.0	Kyle Bloomquist	Raymond	MN
4	74.0	Tanner Wyatt Phillips	Altoona	IA
5	71.0	Clay Kiefer	Creston	IA

Steer Wrestling

Ever had the guts to slide off a horse galloping at full speed and take down a 500-pound steer by the horns? These guys do. Stop the clock in four seconds or less, and you'll earn a nice check. As in all timed events, the animal gets a head start. 

Too much horsepower too soon will break the barrier and result in a 10-second penalty.

2	6.0	Ty Standley	Marshalltown	IA

4	10.5	Grant Allen Gansemer	Wall Lake	IA
5	10.6	Austin Schneider	Beetown	WI
6	16.1	Carson Good	Long Valley	SD

Team Roping

Let's play catch, partner. Two ropers, a header and a heeler, take off after a steer. After the header ropes the steer around the horns, he turns it so the heeler can rope both hind legs and complete the run. The world record is 3.3 seconds, faster than it took to read this. 

This event depends on two solid catches. Anything less and you don't get paid.

5	8.7	Jess Hume Coy Lee Nelson	Orfordville Tomah	WI WI
6	8.9	Tyler Jackson Josh Hamby	Salem Viola	AR AR

Tie-Down Roping

A cowboy throws his loop and catches a calf, then dismounts, sprints to the calf, and flanks it to the ground. As quickly as possible, he then ties any three legs together with a piggin' string and throws his hands in the air to stop the clock. 

Tie fast, and tie tightly. The calf has six seconds to stay put after the run. If it breaks free, then it's no time (and no cash either).

1	12.2	Blake Ash	Aurora	MO

4	12.9	Lane Howard	Sheridan	IL
5	14.0	Coltin Rauch	Essex	MT
6	15.4	Josh Krueger	Saukville	WI

Barrel Racing

Horsepower in its truest sense. Time is the only thing that matters here, and these cowgirls and their horses have gotten so fast that champions are often decided by hundredths of a second. 

Don't topple a barrel, which results in a five-second penalty.

Bull Riding

Maybe it was a bet. Maybe it was a dare. No one knows for sure which cowboy was crazy enough to ride a bucking bull for the first time. Today, there's a reason it's the last event at a rodeo. The sheer excitement of a 150-pound man vs. a 1,500-pound beast makes this the crowd favorite, hands down. 

Just hang on, but roughstock rules apply — hold on with one hand only. As with all roughstock events, style matters.
