Registration is OPEN for our first Rodeo on September 12th at Mike Tracy Arena. To register please email [email protected]. Please list contestants name, DOB, age, events, and if you want a membership. You must be a member to receive points and be eligible for awards. You will receive a confirmation email in return with a total, registration forms, and a waiver (but it may not be immediate as we all have jobs too).
Our events are listed below in the order that they will run. We will run Dummy Roping in conjunction with Mutton Busting. Mutton Busters will go straight to Dummy Roping after their ride. Dummy Roping, Goat Tail Untie, and Goat Tie on the Ground will be done outside of the arena under the pavilion. Poles will start in the big Arena after Mutton Busting. We will run in the following order: Adults, Huckleberries, Bootleggers, Buckeroos, Pork Chops, and Knee Highs. This should allow those doing Dummy Roping, Goat Tail Untie, and Goats on the ground to be ready for their pole run.
Please note that we will not do Chute Do***ng and Live Roping at the September 12th rodeo. Those contestants will have the opportunity to enter for two rodeos at the second rodeo at the Chestnut Oak Arena.
If you compete in goat tying or roping events in other associations, you must compete at that level or above at Cowpunchers. For example if you competed in sled roping at another event or association, you must compete in sled roping or live roping at Cowpunchers. You will no longer be eligible for dummy roping. We want to encourage our Cowpuncher contestants to continue to improve in ability.
Grand Entry will start at 9:00 AM. You must sign in between 7:00 am and 8:30 am. The later you wait to sign in the longer the line is. You will also pick up your pre ordered tshirts during this time.
If you are new to Cowpunchers, I know this seems like a lot!!! Don’t be afraid to ask questions. You can email them to [email protected]. There will also be plenty of Board Members on the ground available to answer questions. You will be able to recognize them by their shirts.
