f that runs fast or kicks hard can foil a roper’s finest effort.
After the calf is given a head start, horse and rider give chase, ropes the calf, then dismounts and runs to the animal. After catching and flanking the calf, the cowboy ties any three of the animal’s legs together using a “pigging string” he carries in his teeth. If the calf is not standing when the contestant reaches it, the cowboy must allow the animal to stand, then flank it.
When the cowboy completes his tie, he throws his hands in the air as a signal to the judge. He then remounts his horse and allows the rope to become slack. The run is declared invalid if the calf kicks free within six seconds.
A ten-second penalty is added if the calf roper breaks the barrier at the beginning of the run.

rsemanship skills and competitive drive in this fast and furious event make it a crowd favorite.
In barrel racing, the contestant and her horse enters the arena at full speed. As they begin the course the horse and rider trigger an electronic eye that starts the clock. The racer rides a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels positioned in the arena, and then sprinting back out, trips the eye and stops the clock as she leaves.
The contestant can touch or even move the barrels but receives a five-second penalty for each barrel that is overturned.

roping, the rider neither dismounts nor ties the calf. Still, the event is fast-paced and requires keen roping and horsemanship skills.
Rapidly gaining popularity, the event looks much the same as tie down, with the horse and rider waiting in a box next to the chute that has a spring-loaded rope, known as the barrier, stretched in front. A light rope is fastened from the chute to the calf’s neck, and once the calf is out of the chute, it releases the barrier, which gives the calf a head-start. Once the barrier has released, the horse runs out of the box while the roper attempts to throw a lasso around the neck of the calf.
Once the rope is around the calf’s neck, the roper signals the horse to stop. The rope is tied to the saddle horn with a string. When the calf hits the end of the rope, the rope is pulled tight and the string breaks. The breaking of the string marks the end of the run. The rope usually has a small white flag at the end that makes the moment the rope breaks more easily seen by the timer. The fastest run wins.

ot in the correct position when the horse hits the ground on its first jump out of the chute, the cowboy has failed to “mark out” the horse properly and is disqualified.
Throughout the eight-second ride, the cowboy must grasp the rigging (a handhold made of leather and rawhide) with only one hand.
The rider is judged on his control and on his spurring technique. The score also is based on the rider’s “exposure” to the strength of the horse, and the horse’s performance accounts for half the total score. A rider is disqualified if he touches his equipment himself or the animal with his free hand.
