We’re back! Let’s talk about the timed event side!
In this category we have team roping, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and breakaway roping. This is where it’s you versus the clock; the fastest and cleanest run wins. We’ll go into more depth when we break down each event!
Timed event vocabulary that you should know…
• Box - The area a horse and rider back into before they make a roping or steer wrestling run.
• Barrier - A line at the front of the box that the contestant and his horse cannot cross until the steer or calf has a head start, usually marked with a rope and a flag so the timers can see it drop and start the clock.
• Penalty - A mistake that is made that adds time to your original run time. In timed events, common penalties include 10 seconds for breaking the barrier. In team roping, five seconds for a one-hind-leg catch. In barrel racing, a knocked over barrel will result in a five second penalty as well.
