CAVE CREEK RODEO DAYS EVENT SPONSORED BY
KIWANIS
Mutton Bustin', is one of the rodeo’s most popular events and offers youngsters between the ages of 4 and 7 on the day of the event and weight (under 60 lbs) a chance to begin their own rip-roaring rodeo careers. The helmeted cowpokes have an opportunity to ride a “wooly bully” 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!
