Steer Wrestling at the Payson Rodeo

ŠJudy Hedding
In steer wrestling, the cowboy tries to drop from his horse, grab the steer by the horns, and get it on the ground, on its side. This is a timed event, where the technique of getting in the right position before jumping off the horse, and the strength involved in the swift motion necessary to get the steer wrestled to the ground, make the challenge.
