Part of the Xtreme Rodeo series
Fast horses, quick hands and a flying rope: rodeo roping against the clock.
Rodeo roping comes in several forms: tie-down, breakaway and team roping. This book explains how each event works, from the start signal to the tie that stops the clock, and introduces the rules set by professional rodeo groups.
This title introduces readers to roping, a timed rodeo event. Readers will learn the rules of tie-down, break-away, and team roping competitions, from tying the piggin’ string in a hooey, dropping the flag, to the finish signals of cowboys, herders, and heelers. Sanctioning bodies such as the Professional Cowboy Rodeo Association (PRCA) are also introduced. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. A&D Xtreme is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
