mutton busting

Kids ride sheep

Mutton busting is a rodeo event for young children, typically under six years old, who ride sheep the way adult competitors ride bulls or broncos.

The child clings to the wool while the sheep runs across the arena, and whoever stays on longest wins.

My nephew tried mutton busting at the county fair and lasted about three seconds.
