Mutton
Bustin’
Youngsters don’t just watch the
rodeo; they are part of it! Boys
and girls will ride an actual
sheep in the Justin Mutton
Bustin’ event. Each boy and girl
will be judged on how well they
ride for six seconds and how
well their wooly mount bucks.
Every Friday and Saturday night
boys and girls ages 4 years and
older and weighing 55 pounds and
under (weight limit will be
strictly enforced) sign up to
ride in our Mutton Bustin
event. Eight (8) children are
randomly drawn to participate in
the actual rodeo. All children
who are chosen to participate
will receive prizes; with the
winner of the event receiving a
special prize.
The Mesquite Championship Rodeo
provides each child a helmet and
a protective vest. However,
parents and/or guardian will be
required to sign a waiver form
for each child participating in
the event. |

Calf
Scramble
Here's something just for the
kids in the audience. They get
to assemble in the arena, and at
a given signal, they try and
catch a couple of calves.
Although the calf scramble is an
integral part of nearly every
rodeo held in the United States,
there are some risks of injury
associated with the event. If
you are a parent or adult
supervisor of children, and have
concerns about the safety of
your child, please do not allow
them to participate. The Rodeo
assumes no responsibility for
injury. |
