Mutton bustin is fun for the crowd and the kids participating. Aspiring young cowboys and cowgirls looking for their six seconds of fame come busting out of the chute aboard their wooly mounts.
Children between the ages of five and seven weighing less than 55 pounds are eligible to participate. With helmets and protective vests mandatory, every precaution is taken to make the event safe. Like their mentors in the ranks of professional rodeo, these young athletes are scored half for their own performance and half for that of the animal. But the judges are much more lenient in this event and every kid receives a score, even if they don't ride 'til the six-second buzzer.
These youngsters also have another one-up on the professionals. Every participant receives a State Farm trophy and bandanna.
The overall winner wins a custom Hy O Silver buckle a special gift from your Texas State Farm Agents.
