This week we’re highlighting three popular events that will bring both tradition and fun to the Williamstown Rodeo! Saddle Bronc Riding A classic rodeo event, saddle bronc riding tests a cowboy’s balance and timing. Using a braided rein for control, the rider must stay on the horse for 8 seconds while moving their feet in rhythm from the neck to the saddle. Judges score based on both the rider’s form and the horse’s bucking action. Mutton Busting A fan favorite for the younger crowd, mutton busting gives kids ages 3–6 a chance to ride a sheep across the arena. The child who hangs on the longest earns the top spot. Helmets and vests are provided for safety. To enter, message the rodeo organizers on Facebook. Team Roping In team roping, two riders work together to catch a steer. The header ropes the steer’s head and turns it to the left. Then the heeler follows and ropes the hind feet. Once both catches are made and the ropes are secured to their saddles, the clock stops. The steer is released right after the run. Team roping is the only rodeo event that features two riders competing as a team, highlighting timing, communication, and skill. Watch for more as we continue to highlight different parts of the rodeo!

Here’s a closer look at some of the classic rodeo events featured in the Williamstown Rodeo: Ladies’ & Junior Barrel RacingRiders guide their horses around three barrels in a cloverleaf pattern, racing against the clock. While touching a barrel is allowed, knocking one over adds a five-second penalty. Every fraction of a second matters. Steer WrestlingIn this timed event, the cowboy chases a steer on horseback, then drops down to bring it to the ground by the horns. The steer must be on its side with all four legs extended for the time to count. A second rider, called a hazer, helps keep the steer running straight. Tie-Down RopingThe cowboy ropes a calf from horseback, dismounts, and ties three of the calf’s legs. The run ends when the cowboy throws up his hands. The calf is released immediately after the tie is checked.These events highlight the skill, timing, and coordination it takes to compete in rodeo. Stay tuned for more event spotlights.Remember to buy your tickets early as seating is limited!www.williamstownrodeo.ca#RodeoSpotlight #BarrelRacing #SteerWrestling #TiedownRoping #RodeoEvents #RodeoSkills #williamstownfair #williamstownfairgrounds ...
