  4. What the cowboy has to do • Rope the calf • Jump off horse and flank the calf • Tie three of the four legs together • Most common form of tying is two loops and a hooey • Get back on horse and give slack in the rope

  5. What the horse has to do • After cowboy dismounts, the horse must stay put and hold the rope tight • Tight enough that there’s no slack in the rope • And lose enough so the calf isn’t dragged • Tie-down roping is not possible without a good broke tie-down horse

  6. What the calf has to do • Run out of the chute • Decide on whether or not he/she wants to stay tied for 6 seconds or try and kick free • Once un-tied a beautiful rodeo queen will shag the calf to the other end of arena where he/she will join the rest of the herd • The PRCA is concerned with animal welfare and treats all livestock humanely
