Get Off My Back

Cowboy in suit and tie riding a bucking bronco.
A cowboy is trying to stay on this bucking bronco. The rider is trying to bring back a tradition of dressing in a coat and tie while riding the horse. The announcer at the Russian River Rodeo stated that when rodeos began, riders dressed formally in suits and ties.

Team Roping

Team roping, the only true team event in ProRodeo, requires close cooperation and timing between two highly skilled ropers - a header and a heeler - and their horses. The event originated on ranches when cowboys needed to treat or brand large steers and the task proved too difficult for one man. Russian River Rodeo, Duncans Mills, CA. June 24, 2018

Calf Roping

Calf roping, also known as tie-down roping, is a rodeo event that features a calf and a rider mounted on a horse.
