RIDERS MUST BE SIGNED UP PRIOR TO THE EVENT!

When it’s time to ride, a cowboy gently holds the sheep steady while the young rider climbs on and gets ready. Once the rider gives the nod, the sheep is released and the ride begins! The goal? Hang on as long as possible while the sheep dashes across the rodeo arena. 

Every ride is met with cheers, laughter and lots of high-fives, whether the rider lasts two seconds or twenty. Our team makes sure each participant is safe and supported throughout the experience, ensuring a fun time for both riders and spectators.

Mutton Bustin' is open to young riders ages 4-8 years old who weighs 55 pounds or less.

Children participating must wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and close-toed shoes on the day they signed up for. No open-toed shoes or sandals will be allowed in the arena.
