The tie down roping photos below are not necessarily in order.
Whenever we are able to identify a contestant, their name will be given.

Tie Down Roping Photos

We regret that we somehow managed to get very few tie-down roping pictures. Here are the few we got.

At Cheyenne, there is a 30 foot score for timed-event contestants (that means the calves and steers get a 30 foot head start), and the judge pulls the barrier by hand. Notice that as the calf leaves the box that he isn't carrying a rope to release the barrier. When he reaches the 30 foot scoreline, the judge will pull the barrier.

Every so often during the tie-down roping a trick rider from The Fast and the Furious Trick Riders would go tearing down the track.

Clint Robinson, Spanish Fork, UT caught his calf, but his horse stepped over the rope.

As the rope to the calf tightened, it pulled the horse's leg into the air.

Clint didn't waste any time reaching for his knife to cut the rope.

Help arrived, but Clint cut the rope just as they got there. His horse stayed remarkably quiet.

After the rope was cut the calf took part of it with him for a souvenir. The calf and the horse were both unharmed.

Sorry, but that's it for the tie-down roping photos. Like I said above, we somehow managed to get only a few. After The Fast and the Furious Trick Riders said good-bye, it was on to the next event.
