Ten competitors from the qualifying rounds in each event will ride for the chance to win a spot in the finals on March 28. Saddle-bronc rider Clint Hopping will return tonight after placing second on March 15th in the second qualifying round. “I like the format this year,” Hopping said. “Each round is a clean slate for each rider, a fair chance to win a check and I’m glad I made it to the playoffs.” The next four days of rodeo will bring great competition as cowboys and cowgirls showcase their hard work while riding for the brand. “I started out at smaller rodeos to work up to getting to big rodeos like this,” Hopping said. “This is my first time competing here at Rodeo Austin in saddle bronc. Walking in today to the semi-finals meant so much to me to be here on my own.” Hopping will not advance to the finals, but that won’t keep him from holding his head high like a true cowboy. “I rode good, I felt good, the horse bucked, the crowd cheered, Boyz II Men is playing and there was a great atmosphere,” Hopping said. “Because of the nature of this rodeo, its stature and the weight it carries in our sport I felt like a true bronc rider.” Rodeo Austin is proud to support cowgirls and cowboys as they make a name for themselves in the great sport of rodeo.

  • Rules for Showing
    1 RULES FOR SHOWING Edition 21 Revised October 2019 EFFECTIVE 3rd February 2020 PREAMBLE The Rules for Showing are produced specifically for use at CN or lower Status Events and have been drawn up in the broadest possible terms so as to allow Organising Committees affiliated to SAEF and SASA itself, as much freedom as possible in the management of their Events and in the preparation of their schedules. It is not possible to provide for every conceivable eventuality in these rules. If there is no rule to deal specifically with a particular circumstance, or if the nearest interpretation of the pertinent rule would result in an obvious injustice, it is the duty of those responsible to make a decision based on common sense and fair play, using all technical assistance available including official video-recordings (an official video recording is considered to be a recording made by a TV network or video company hired by the organising committee) thus reflecting, as closely as possible, the intention of these rules and of the General Regulations. These rules have to be read in conjunction with the SASA General Rules and Regulations, SAEF General, Veterinary and Anti-Doping Regulations which are uniform for all disciplines falling under SAEF jurisdiction. Although the FEI does not recognise the Showing Discipline as such, the General Regulations and rules of the FEI, unless otherwise stated in these rules, still apply and in consequence, these rules are supplementary to those of the FEI in this respect. In all equestrian sports the interests of the horse must be considered paramount.
