Rodeo 101
Rodeo 101 is an educational video series that explains the sport, rules, athleticism, and animal care that are all part of the Maple Leaf Circuit Finals at Agribition and rodeos across Canada.
Bareback – A contestant/cowboy riding a bucking horse for 8 seconds without a saddle. This event requires skill, balance, and coordination.
Team Roping – The only true team event in pro rodeo requires close cooperation and timing between header and healer. The event originated on ranches when cattle needed to be treated or branded and the animal too large for one cowboy to handle.
Steer Wrestling – The objective of a steer wrestler also know as a “bulldogger”, is to use strength and technique to wrestle a steer to that ground as quick as possible competing for the fastest time.
Barrel Racing – A rodeo event, usually for women, in which a horse and rider must run a cloverleaf preset pattern competing for the fastest time.
Saddle Bronc – A rodeo event in which the contestant attempts to ride a bucking horse for eight seconds. Unlike bareback, but similar to the ways of the old west, the horse is equipped with a regulation saddle and braided rein attached to the halter that rider holds on to.
Tie Down Roping – The roots of this event can be traced back to the working ranches of the old west. This event mimics when calves were sick they had to be roped for quick veterinary treatment.
Bull Riding – A contestant climbs on the back of a 2,000 lb bull with the determination to ride for 8 seconds. Bull Riding is dangerous and predictably exciting, demanding intense physical and mental toughness and courage.
