Stole this Great Photo of Cowboy Fun!
Years Ago we had "Timed Events" like this
We used a Chute - Ride the bull - then pull the saddle and run/carry it to a point for TIME

the first saddle we use was an old High Back (cantle) Saddle - the first buck the cantle hit my friend in the middle of his back and almost killed him so we change to a low cantle saddle - that worked

Then in time I had an idea - if we used a "Pin with a Piggin rope" on the cinch we could pull the saddle much faster by just pulling the "PIN:- - My idea my ride - tied the Piggin rope around my wrist - when I got bucked off I was OK - then the bull hit the end of the rope - the pin came out as planed - the saddle went up high on the next buck and came down MY HEAD -- KO'd me :(

LOL...we use to do the wild steer saddling in school. I was on the first girl team...we did not do to bad, but didnt win either lol. They do it here at our local fair and rodeo. Our fair rodeo is different, it is all local youth teams, FFA and 4-H only. My oldest still wears a rope scar around his chest where his fella members wrapped him in the rope lol..he was the rider. They still got a time and he had rope burns all over him for a longgg time.

Where as you start with the saddle, ours get a rope on the horns and they let them out of the shoot the kids have to stop the steer, saddle it, get a team member on it and ride it back across the white line. It is great fun to watch.

Thanks for the picture OD...brought back a lot of memories.

It's the Wild Cow Ride!!!!!!!!! We still have that at our rodeo every July........this year they ran 2 bunches of 4 teams. My (well, actually, Hubby's) nephew's team won it this summer!!!!!!!!! He's trying for Hubby and his brother's (nephew's dad) record. They won it 10 years in a row, before someone finally came up with a team that could beat them........lol

I don't remember, I was just a kid back then......... :p Hubby's a bunch older than me, ya know......... :wink:
