1. steer roping

   Steer roping, also known as steer busting or steer tripping, is a rodeo event that involves a steer (a castrated male bull) and a mounted rider, often referred an as a roper. The goal of this event is for the rider to catch the steer by throwing a loop of rope from a lariat around its horns, then to dismount from the horse, go to the steer, and tie three of its legs together. Typically, the speed and agility of the horse and the skill and quick action of the roper are key factors in this competition. Outcomes are usually measured by the time taken to successfully rope and tie the steer.

1. Steer roping

   Steer roping, also known as steer tripping or steer jerking, is a rodeo event that features a steer and one mounted cowboy. The steer roper starts behind a "barrier" - a taut rope fastened with an easily broken string which is fastened lightly to the steer. When the roper calls for the steer, the chute man trips a lever, opening the doors. The steer breaks out running. When the steer reaches the end of the tether, the string breaks, releasing the barrier for the horse and roper. Should the roper break the barrier, a 10-second penalty is added to his time). The roper must throw his rope in a loop around the steer's horns. Once the rope is around the steer's horns, a right-handed roper throws the slack of the rope over the steer's right hip and then turns his horse to the left; when the rope comes tight, it pulls on the steer's hip up and turns the steer's head around, tripping or unbalancing the steer so that it falls. The roper dismounts while his horse continues to gallop, pulling the steer along the ground, which prevents the animal from getting back to its feet. The horse is trained to slow once the rider is completely off the horse and has reached the steer, but to keep the rope taunt while the contestant ties three of the steer's legs together with a piggin string using a half hitch knot colloquially called a hooey. The roper returns to his horse, mounts, and moves the horse forward, releasing the tension on the rope. An official will then time six seconds. If the steer is still tied at the end of the six seconds, an official time for the event is awarded.
