around three barrels<br />
and sprint out of the arena tripping<br />
another light beam. If they knock<br />
over a barrel it adds 5 seconds to their<br />
time and effectively eliminates any<br />
chance to win the event.<br />
“Men’s Calf Roping” is a timed event<br />
where riders must give the calf a<br />
lead-time before bursting out of the<br />
box. They must then lasso the calf,<br />
jump off their horse, run over and flip<br />
the calf to the ground and then tie at<br />
least three of its legs, which must then<br />
remain tied for at least six seconds.<br />

In “Women’s Calf Roping” the rules<br />
vary slightly from the men’s event.<br />

required to jump off and tie the legs of<br />
the calf.<br />
