How It Works
Sheep are loaded into the chute and the rider climbs on. When the gate opens, the sheep takes off and the rider hangs on for as long as possible. Each ride is an exciting and memorable experience. At the end of the weekend, the rider with the longest hold time will be named the Grand Champion Mutton Busting Rider and awarded the Grand Champion Buckle.
Buckles are given on the day of the ride.
The Grand Champion Buckle will be awarded Saturday evening after the final rides.
Entry Benefits
– Every entry receives an Official Mutton Busting Buckle (adult size to last as your rider grows).
– Riders can enter once or multiple times. Each entry earns a buckle. Extra buckles can be given to family or friends.
