rodeo events

Cowboy contest categories

Rodeo events are the individual competitions that make up a rodeo—bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, calf roping, steer wrestling, and team roping being the most common.

Each tests different skills in handling livestock or staying mounted.

The phrase often appears when discussing which events a competitor enters: She competes in three rodeo events.
