Cozumel Rodeo. However, typically, a rodeo might include the following events:
- Bull Riding: Perhaps the most dangerous event in rodeo where a rider attempts to stay mounted on a bull for at least 8 seconds while the animal tries to buck off the rider.
- Saddle Bronc Riding: Similar to bull riding, but the rider is on a bucking horse and aims to stay on for a set amount of time.
- Bareback Bronc Riding: Again, similar to saddle bronc riding, but without a saddle.
- Steer Wrestling: Also known as “bulldogging,” this event sees a rider chase a steer, drop from the horse to the steer, and then wrestle the steer to the ground.
- Team Roping: This is a team event where two riders rope a steer by its head and legs.
- Tie-down Roping: Also known as “calf roping,” a calf is roped around the neck by a lasso, the horse stops and sets back on the rope while the cowboy dismounts, runs to the calf, throws it to the ground and ties three feet together.
- Barrel Racing: This is a timed event that combines the horse’s athletic ability and the horsemanship skills of a rider in order to safely and successfully maneuver a horse through a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels.
- Breakaway Roping: Similar to calf roping but the calf is not thrown and tied. Once the calf is roped, the horse stops, allowing the rope to ‘break away’ from the saddle.
