Recovering from a slide will loose points for the cowboy. The Header rides out from the left side of the chute and rope the steer by the horns. He dallies his rope, slows and turns the steer to one side. The Heeler then moves in behind and ropes both hind feet while the steer is still upright and then dallies the rope. The two horses must stand and face each other before the official time can be taken.
Time is the judge.
The rider needs to get around those barrels fast and smooth around a clover leaf pattern with three barrels placed approximately 100 feet apart. A five second penalty is added if a barrel is knocked over.
