We truly look forward to participating in Lazy K Heart Productions’ Wickenburg Rodeo each year. It has become one of those events that feels special to be a part of, with an authentic Western atmosphere, a welcoming crowd, and a strong sense of community.
Our company’s cocktail sampling gives us the opportunity to connect with rodeo attendees in a fun and genuine way, and year after year, we continue to receive incredibly positive feedback and engagement. Guests are excited to interact with our team, try the cocktails, and learn more about the brands we are representing.
We deeply value our continued partnership with Lazy K Productions. The Wickenburg Rodeo is a unique, niche event that allows us to reach an authentic Western audience while also being part of a heel-stompin’ great time. It continues to be an event we are proud to support and we always enjoy our opportunity to partner with this incredible organization!
As a retired bull rider, I’ve been around this sport for a long time, and I can honestly say Lazy K Production put on one heck of an event. From the quality of the stock to the way everything was organized, you could tell this was a first-class production. The bulls were outstanding, the action was nonstop, and the whole event was run with true professionalism. It’s clear Lazy K has a real respect for the sport, the riders, and the fans. It was great to see a production that still captures the heart, grit, and excitement of real bull riding. Hats off to Lazy K Production for putting on such a great show.
About Rodeo
Professional rodeo action consists of two types of competitions – roughstock events and timed events – and an all-around event
Rodeo 101
Professional rodeo action consists of two types of competitions – roughstock events and timed events – and an all-around cowboy crown.
In the roughstock events bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding a contestant’s score is equally dependent upon his performance and the animal’s performance. To earn a qualified score, the cowboy, while using only one hand, must stay aboard a bucking horse or bull for eight seconds. If the rider touches the animal, himself or any of his equipment with his free hand, he is disqualified.
In saddle bronc and bareback riding, a cowboy must “mark out” his horse; that is, he must exit the chute with his spurs set above the horse’s shoulders and hold them there until the horse’s front feet hit the ground after the initial jump out of the chute. Failing to do so results in disqualification. During the regular season, two judges each score a cowboy’s qualified ride by awarding 0 to 25 points for the rider’s performance and 0 to 25 points for the animal’s effort. The judges’ scores are then combined to determine the contestant’s score. A perfect score is 100 points.
In timed events steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing and steer roping; cowboys and cowgirls at “the other end of the arena” compete against the clock, as well as against each other. A contestant’s goal is to post the fastest time in his or her event. In steer wrestling and the roping events, calves and steers are allowed a head start. The competitor, on horseback, starts in a three-sided fenced area called a box. The fourth side opens into the arena.
A rope barrier is stretched across that opening and is tied to the calf or steer with a breakaway loop. Once the calf or steer reaches the head-start point – predetermined by the size of the arena – the barrier is automatically released. If a cowboy breaks that barrier, a 10-second penalty is added
