10 11 OPEN BARREL RACING

Open barrel racing is for those ages 13 years and up. The goal of barrel racing is to do a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels in the fastest time. The horses pivot on their haunches at a very high speed and execute each turn with only a few inches to spare. Normally, Quarter Horses are used in barrel racing. If a barrel is knocked over, there is a fi ve-second penalty.

12 13 TEAM ROPING Roping Box Sponsor Team roping demands close cooperation between two cowboys (“header” and “heeler”) and their horses. The steer is given a head start as the header waits behind a rope barrier. If the header breaks the barrier, there is a 10-second penalty against the team. The heeler follows after the header has begun his pursuit. The header is the fi rst one to rope and must catch the steer either around the horns, around the neck, or around one horn and the head. As soon as the header secures the loop, he “dallies” the rope around the saddle horn and rides to the left, turning the steer away from a right-handed heeler. As the header rides away, the heeler tries to rope the steer’s hind feet. There is a fi ve-second penalty if the heeler catches only one foot. The two riders back their agile horses to take the slack out of their ropes. The clock stops when all the slack has been taken up and the ropers are facing one another. Gus Darien Arena Sponsor

20 21 Top Hand Sponsor RANCH BRONC RIDING

It is a ‘ride as ride can’ for 8 seconds. A standard, working ranch saddle is used and the horse is saddled as it would be for everyday ranch work. The broncs (horses) wear a bronc with one rein for the rider to hold onto. This is called a “bronc rein” or a “hack rein.” Ranch Bronc Riders are allowed to hold onto the saddle horn, cantle, or a night latch (a rope or strap tied through the gullet of the saddle) with their free hand (the one not holding the hack rein). Riders are not disqualifi ed by a loss of a stirrup and there is no “mark out” rule – the Ranch Bronc Rider does not have to have the rowels of his/her touching the break of the broncs’ shoulders on the fi rst jump out of the chute until the broncs’ feet hit the ground.This year Ranch Bronc Riding will be featured 6 times including the fi nals with a buckle going to the season champion.
