====Other timed events==== * [[Barrel racing]] is a timed speed and agility event. In barrel racing, horse and rider gallop around a cloverleaf pattern of barrels, making agile turns without knocking the barrels over.{{sfn|Broyles|2006|p=4}} In professional, collegiate and high school rodeo, barrel racing is an exclusively women's sport, though men and boys occasionally compete at local [[Gymkhana (Equestrian)|O-Mok-See]] competition. [[File:Rodeo3b2004-12-21.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Steer wrestling]]]] * [[Steer wrestling]], also known as bulldogging, is a rodeo event where the rider jumps off his horse onto a [[Corriente cattle|Corriente]] [[Cattle#Terminology|steer]] and wrestles it to the ground by grabbing it by the horns. It is probably the single most physically dangerous event in rodeo for the cowboy, who runs a high risk of jumping off a running horse head first and missing the steer, or of having the thrown steer land on top of them, sometimes horns first. * [[Goat tying]] is usually an event for women or pre-teen girls and boys; a goat is staked out while a mounted rider runs to the goat, dismounts, grabs the goat, throws it to the ground and ties it in the same manner as a calf. The horse must not come into contact with the goat or its tether. The event was designed to teach smaller or younger riders the basics of calf roping without requiring the more complex skill of roping the animal. This event is not part of professional rodeo competition.
