Mutton Bustin’

Date:  March 21, 2020

Time:  1:00PM – 3:00PM

Mutton Bustin' Finals:  The Mutton Bustin' Finals will be held at the Cave Creek Memorial Arena on March 29th, 2020 during the Sunday performance.  The finalist and one guardian will have free entry to the Sunday performance to compete in the Mutton Bustin' Finals.

Mutton Bustin', Sponsored by the Buffalo Chip, is one of the rodeo’s most popular events and offers youngsters between the ages of 4 and 7 and weight (under 75 lbs) a chance to begin their own rip-roaring rodeo careers.  The helmeted cowpokes have an opportunity to ride a “wooley bulley” inside the rodeo arena.  Here's how it works:  With a sheep readied in the “chute”, a child is set on its back - arms wrapped tightly around the neck.  When the chute gate opens out comes the sheep and rider. The small cowboy/cowgirl will hold on and ride the sheep for as long as they can!  Whether it's a one second or ten second ride, these youngsters are in for a wild, exciting and memorable time.  What fun!
