the wild horse race begins with untamed horses in the chutes. teams of three people then run to the chutes and saddle the horses. one member of the group must then ride the horse across a finish line in the arena, ahead of any other riders. the wild bullock race is conducted in a similar manner to the wild horse race. in the steer undecorating event a competitor has a hazer to keep the steer running straight, while the woman attempts to remove a ribbon from the steer's shoulder as fast as possible.
