Rodeo Rules j
SADDLE BRONC RIDING
Nation’s top bucking horses
used and ridden only with asso
ciation saddles. Ordinary halter
with but one rein, is allowed and
must be held only by hand on
same side of horse’s neck. This
rein is either three or four
strands of grass or cotton rope
braided and not more than one
inch in diameter. Other hand
must be free at all times. Rider
must begin spurring horse up on
shoulders while leaving chute
and continue to spur throughout
ride.
Getting bucked off, changing
hands on rein, wrapping the
rein around hand, pulling leather,
blowing stirrup (loosing foot
from stirrup), touching horse or
saddle with free hand or failing
to spur to suit judges disqualifies
the rider. _
BAREBACK BRONC RIDING
Horse is ridden with surcingle
or bareback rigging or with only
a loose rope around it and held
with but one hand. A small rope
or strap is tied around the horse’s
flanks just snug enough to annoy
it and make it buck harder.
Rules are much the same as in \
saddle bronc riding. I
CALF ROPING
The calf is turned loose and
timing starts when it crosses the
deadline about 10 or 15 feet in
front of the chute as the flag
drops. A small rope or sash cord,
known as the barrier, is fastened
up in front of the roper to the
side of the calf chute and releas
ed with the drop of the flag. If
the roper starts for the calf too
soon and breaks the barrier a 10
second penalty is added to his
time. Each roper is allowed a
second loop if he misses with his
first.
CANADIAN RULES
Canadian rules do not allow
roper to tic rope to saddle but
dally around horn so as to slip
off when roper dismounts. Am
erican rules allow rope to be tied
fast to the horn but horse must
be trained well and rope and
reins tied and adjusted in a man
ner to prevent the horse from
dragging the calf. If the calf gets
jerked off its feet it must be al
lowed to get up again and be
thrown by hand. With a short
piece of light rope known as the
■‘inevitable” little pigging string,
any three feet are tied together
in a manner to suit the judges.
Timing is taken to a tenth of
a second. Pigging string is be
tween the roper’s teeth.
STEER WRESTLING OR
BULLDOGGING
Contestant and helper or haz
er are mounted, one on each side
of the chute. Timing starts when
steer crosses deadline and con
testant must jump from his horse
to the steer, catching it by the
horns, bringing it to a stop and
twisting it down on its side with
all four feet out from under it.
If steer’s head is twisted one
way and the steer should fall the
other, then it must be let up and
twisted down again. Fastest
times decide the winner.
In Canada this contest is sub
s t i t u t e d with steer-decorating.
The contestant jumps to the steer
and slips a red ribbon on a horn.
BULL OR STEER RIDING
A loo.se rope is put around the
animal like a big noose and held
tight with a one-hand hold. A
bell is fastened to the rope un
der the animal’s belly and a rope
or flank strap used as on bare
back horses. When bulls are
used, spurring is not required
continually throughout the ride.
THICKER SHELLS
The warm weather will have
an effect on the thickness of egg
shells. Hens will lay thicker
shelled eggs even in summer if
they are kept in an artificially
cooled place And hens which are
exposed to summer temperatures
in the winter will lay thin-shell
ed eggs.
ARTIFICIAL BREEDING
The number of cows artificial
ly bred jumped 13 percent last
year to a new high of five mil
lion. The August issue of Suc
cessful Farming says that about
37 percent ot the artificially bred
cows were bred to proved sires.
. DIRTY EGGS
Manure Is the cause of dirty
eggs about 95 percent of the
time. Blood, stains, egg material
and dirt are very rarely the
cause of eggs being dirty.
Plugge to Furnish
Stock for Rodeo—
Walter Plugge, well - known1
Wheeler county rancher, will
have about 100 head of wild
horses, bulls and calves at the
annual HoU county fair and ro
deo to be held at Chambers.

JT —
“These animals are really
wild,” Piugge says. “The wild
horses are fierce buckers and
quite unpredictable in their ac
tions.”

der RCA rules and will be view
ed by professional judges.
