2021 BODDINGTON LIONS RODEO Since its inception in 1976, the Boddington Lion's Club has successfully run

the Lions Rodeo annually on the first Saturday in November each year.

Recognised as the largest rodeo in Western Australia, the rodeo weekend

has something in store for everyone.

Saturday morning sees Western Australia's best shearers in action along

with a procession of Emergency Services Vehicles and school children

winding their way to the Rodeo Grounds.

Arriving at the Rodeo Grounds, one is tempted by the smell of Donuts and

Hamburgers, entertained by the thigh slapping music of the many country

and western performers and riveted by the nonstop thrills and spills of the

Rodeo events.

After the day is through, mingle with the competitors as the entertainment

continues well into the night.

WHAT GOES ON AT THE RODEO? An explanation of some of the major points will assist you to understand the important

aspects of major Rodeo events. At all times, contestants must ride to set rules, the

judges allocating points for the style of the rider and performance of the horse or

steer. At no time is the rider permitted to abuse or mistreat the stock.

Saddle Bronc Riding

The contest is judged on the rider's ability to synchronise his movements with the bucking

rhythm of the horse. To qualify, the contestant must 'mark out' (having his spurs resting

forward of the horse's shoulders until the horse completes his first jump out of the chute). He

is disqualified for touching any part of the animal or equipment, losing a stirrup, or getting

bucked off before eight seconds has elapsed.

Bare Back Riding

Points are given for the rider's style and flair on a horse which he

has no control. The contestant has one hand in the 'bare back riggin'

leather handhold and he must keep the other from touching the

horse or himself. The rider must mark out and stay on board for

eight seconds.

Team Roping

The two-member team is made up of a header and a heeler. The header ropes the steer

around the horns, then the heeler must rope both animal’s hind legs. Official time is taken

when both catches are made, the ropes are tight, and the horses are facing each other.

Barrel Race

Each contestant runs their horse in a clover pattern around three

large barrels, with the fastest time deciding the winner.

Steer Undecorating

Contestants on horseback chase a steer that has a ribbon taped

to its back. The rider must get the ribbon in the shortest possible

time while a hazer keeps the steer running in a straight line.

Break-away Roping

This is a timed event in which a rope is tied to the saddle horn with a ribbon. After the rider

ropes the calf, they stop their horse. The running calf breaks the tie, pulling the rope from the

saddle horn.

WHAT GOES ON AT THE RODEO? Bull Riding

In the most dangerous event in the Rodeo, the contestant earns points for staying on a

bucking bull for eight seconds. The tougher the bull and the greater control shown by the

rider, the more points they earn. To help the rider keep his grip, a braided rope wrapped

around the bull's chest is pulled tight by the rider's hand.

Steer Wrestling

Two riders, being the steer wrestler and the hazer, follow each side of a running steer. At the

right moment, the steer wrestler launches himself off his horse, taking the steer by the horns.

He must stop the steer then roll it to the ground. When the steer is lying flat on its side,

official time is taken.

Rope and Tie

The mounted contestant follows the stock until he can throw his loop. If he makes a catch he

then dismounts, runs down the rope and ties the stock by three legs. Time is then taken, but

to qualify the animal must remain tied for five seconds.
