Goat Tying

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goat-roping is a rodeo event in which the participant rides to a goat tethered by a 10' rope to a stake, dismounts, catches, throws, and ties any three of its legs together. The goat must stay tied for six seconds after the contestant has backed away from the animal. If the goat becomes untied before five seconds have passed, the rider receives no score.

A participant may be disqualified for undue roughness while handling the goat, touching the goat or the tie, or after signaling completion of the tie a contestant’s horse coming in contact with the goat or tether while the contestant still has control of the horse.
