What to expect at the NILE Pro Rodeo.

The NILE understands that not everyone knows all the ins and outs of a rodeo performance. If you're a rodeo first-timer, here's a rundown of what to expect.

Fans will enjoy multiple events at the NILE.

Bareback Riding - The same concept as bull riding, only it's a wildly bucking horse instead of a bull.
Steer Wrestling - This event is fun to watch, as a horse-mounted cowboy must chase down a 500+ pound running steer, jump off his horse, and get the steer to the ground. It's a timed event.
Team Roping - In this event, two cowboys must rope a steer, then one jumps off their horse and ties up three of the animal's legs. Speed matters here; a good score happens in six seconds or less.
Barrel Racing - This event has become quite popular, for good reason. It's fun to watch their skills as a cowgirl races her horse through a set of barrels in the arena for the fastest time. The horses kick up dust as they power around the tight corners and are just as talented as the riders.
Bull Riding - Surely most of you are familiar with this. We've all watched the Luke Perry, based-on-a-true-story movie 8 Seconds, right?

The NILE Pro Rodeo is family-friendly.

Rugged and rough cowboys might have a reputation for wild living and foul language, but that image is largely amplified by TV and movies. The NILE features professional cowboys and cowgirls and rodeo is a sport they take as seriously as any 9 to 5 job.

The NILE will recognize our healthcare workers and breast cancer at Friday's Pink Night, presented by InterMountain Health. The NILE honors our troops and other men and women in uniform on Wrangler Patriot Night on Saturday. Make sure to wear pink on Friday and your best Red, White, and Blues on Saturday.
