The Sport

What is breakaway roping?

Breakaway roping is a sprint. A calf gets a head start, horse and roper explode from the box behind it, and the whole contest is usually over in less time than it takes to read this sentence.

The fastest event in rodeo, decided in seconds.

First • The Start

Out of the box

The calf gets a head start behind the barrier. Break it early and the run carries a penalty, so the start is a game of nerve at full attention.

Then • The Throw

One clean loop

Horse rates the calf, roper throws, and the catch has to be clean around the neck. There is no second loop worth anything at this level.

Finally • The Breakaway

The string snaps

The rope is tied to the saddle horn with a string. The horse stops, the calf hits the end, the string breaks away, the flag drops, and the clock stops.

New in 2026 and presented by Shorty's Caboy Hattery in partnership with Premier Women's Rodeo and Ultimate Calf Roping, the Showcase brings rodeo's top female athletes to one of the most prestigious stages in Western sports.

Friday • August 14 • 6:00 PM

Twenty ropers. One night under the lights.

Every run streams live from South Point Arena.
