Each night, starting at 7:30 pm, the rodeo showcases seven different events:
Saddle Bronc Riding: A classic event where riders sync their spurring with the bronco's leaps.
Bareback Riding: A challenge of balance and strength, with riders clinging to a bucking horse without reins or saddle and only a one-hand grip.
Tie-Down Roping: A test of precision and speed as cowboys lasso calves from horseback.
Team Roping: Teamwork in action, with two riders working together to rope a steer for time.
Bull Riding: The ultimate adrenaline rush, with riders clinging to a bucking bull for at least eight seconds.
Steer Wrestling: A display of power as riders leap from horseback to wrestle a steer to the ground.
Barrel Racing: A race against the clock, with horse and rider weaving through a pattern of barrels for the fastest time.
