Rodeo events are competitive activities that showcase the skills of cowboys and cowgirls in handling livestock. Common events include bull riding, where participants attempt to stay on a bucking bull for a set time, and barrel racing, where riders navigate their horses around barrels in a timed race. Other popular events are team roping, where two riders work together to catch a steer, and bronco riding, which involves riding a bucking horse. These events highlight the traditions of ranching and the skills required for working with animals in a rodeo setting.
