When searching for the Wild West experience, the summer rodeo in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is sure to please. Thousands of spectators flock to the town to get a taste of the cowboy life, complete with bucking broncos, real cowboys and cowboy chow that is hard to resist.
Though the rodeo is not the state's biggest, it is an exciting series of weekend events starting at the end of May and going through to Labor Day. The real crowd pleasers are by far the July 4th celebrations and the Teton County Fair. However, the rodeo has something for everyone, including barrel racing, calf roping, bull riding, saddle bronco riding, bareback bronco riding and the choosing of the rodeo queen.
Not all events are coed; in fact some are male or female only competitions. The barrel race has been kept as a ladies-only event. The calf roping is coed, and visitors watch in earnest as high speed horses race after young calves and the riders race to rope the calf faster than the other riders. The bull riding event is probably the most popular. The saddle bronco riding event is not just about staying on the horse, but judged on the style used. The related event is the bareback bronco riding, but requires incredibly more skill and lengthier times on the bucking horses. However, the other crowd pleaser is the crowning and awarding of the queens of the rodeo, women who have personality, excellent horsemanship, the ability to write well and help in year round promotions of rodeo related activities across the town and sometimes the state.
