Rodeo Camp Cut and Rope
The Arena Master : Jesse Aguilar
Entry: 3 for $120.00 ropers/ 3 for $120.00 cutters
Description: Cut and rope is a 4 person draw consisting of 2 ropers and 2 cutters. The clock starts when the cutters cross the line and are given their number. The cutters then enter the herd and cut their assigned cow away from the herd without the cow crossing back over the line towards the herd. The ropers then head and heel the cow to stop the clock. 5 second penalty is added for a single leg catch. 4 loops are permitted.

Los Vaqueros Trail Class
Trail Class Masters: Ricky and Robin
Entry Fee: $30/participant
Description: The format of this class will now be a Gamblers Choice. There will be 10 obstacles, each worth points assigned for degree of difficulty. Each horse / rider team has two minutes to accrue as many points as they can. Each obstacle may be performed twice, but not in a row. Knocking down, falling off or failure to complete the obstacle results in no points. This is a judged event where the highest score wins. The horse/rider team that most resembles a real-life working ranch horse pair with position and control will have an advantage. This class contains course obstacles that are designed to show the horse’s willingness, confidence, and ability to perform several tasks that might be asked of him in a normal day’s ranch work. Poor horsemanship will result in a zero score.
Los Amigos Branding
Branding Boss: Mitch Williams
Entry Fee: $40 per go: roper or ground crew
Description: This is a drawn timed event consisting of 2 ropers and 2 ground crew. 2 head of cattle will be added to the arena. The ropers will head and heel one cow. Ground crew will then set the ropes. The branding iron cannot leave the bucket (fire) until the cow is stretched. Time ends when the branding iron is returned to the bucket.
