| Roping Events
Gay Rodeo presents three roping events, with one designed for beginners. The other two can be costly because the competitor's success depends on a very good horse. Many roping horses sell for $10,000 or more. These events always begin with the contestant in a "roping box. An imaginary start line runs across the front of the roping box and the chute where the calf or steer is held. Should the contestant cross this line, called the "barrier," before the calf or steer clears the chute, a 10-second penalty is added on tho his or her time. |
