' 4 Vifr , - MATCHING MUSCLES WITH A STEER, the steer wrestler gets a good grip on the horns and prepares to dig in with his heels to bring the critter, which outweighs him 3 to 1, to a sudden stop. Then, working against a stop watch, hell D twist him down until all four feet are free, pointing in the same aireetion. Keeping the steer running straight is the hazer, the mounted cowboy at left. Wrestling a Steer is Just Another Event for a Cowboy Falling from the saddle of a galloping horse to the sharp, pointed horns of a snuffy, 900 pound steer impresses most people as a hazardous way of making a living. But to the rodeo contestants who specialize in steer wrestling, its just another job. The steer wrestler prepares for his work as carefully and as matter of factly as a banker studies a possible investment. In both cases its largely a question of making the right decision at the right time. Practice is essential to this event and some bulldogging experts even improve their practice sessions by studying movies of other steer wrestling greats, carefully noting flaws in timing and tricks of balance. Time is a basic factor in the event. With a slip or trip costing valuable seconds, a cowboy must make a good start out of the chute, whether the local rules require starts behind the barrier or lap and tap. Steers are given a head start in most large arenas. A scoreline is marked several feet in front of the chute, and one of the flagmen stands next to this line, with a line to a spring latch holding a rope across the box where the contestant waits. When the steer dashes across the scoreline, the flagman drops his flag, simultaneously pulling the rope barrier from in front of the and the race is on. But if the overanxious bulldog-gebreaks the barrier, starting bull-dogg- r before the signal, a ing" driving a horn into the penalty is added to his time. Con- ground to gain leverage is also versely, if he waits too long, the outlawed. steer gains yardage and more secd Steer wrestling is a onds are lost. job, ragardless of how scientifical- Once out of the chute, the steer takes off tearing at top speed down the arena, the cowboys horse dodges and hedges with the steer, no two of which react in the- same way. Another cowboy rides as a hazer on the other side of the steer, to keep the steer running straight. The steer might "set-u- p stop just as the wrestler lunges from his saddle and the cowboys takes a big grab at the air and a big bite of dust. Once a cowboy gets a firm grip on the head of the critter, he must bring him to a complete stop by throwing his boot heels into the dirt ahead of the steer. Hell be dragged along helplessly if his feet get behind him. As soon as the steer falls on its side with all four legs free and the feet and head pointing in the same direction, time is up. The flagman, mounted nareby, drops his flag and the timers watch is stopped. But if the steer falls with its legs under it or spread eagled a "dog fall the cowboy usually THEM has to let him up and start over. If the steer gets loose, the dogger may take no more than one step BUY to recapture it. A steer cant be thrown by accident. Houlihanning jumping on the head of the steer so its knocked off its feet is taboo. If this happens, the dogger must let him up and theyre off again.
