- Why Rodeo At The Beach??

Why is the event named Rodeo At The Beach. Certainly we understand that there is no beach at the Exchange Club of Brunswick Fairgrounds. The event name was chosen in order to let the Professional Rodeo talent from around the world know that this is not just another stop on the regular circuit, rather this is a vacation destination with lots of local beach access. We want the Cowboys to know that after they get off the Bull or the Horse they can soak their feet in the Atlantic Ocean and relax on the beach before traveling to their next destination.

TEAM ROPING

Team roping is unique in that two cowboys work together for a shared time. The first cowboy, known as the “header”, ropes the steer either by the horns, around the neck, or “half head” which is one horn and the neck. After this catch is made, the header wraps his rope around the saddle horn, commonly known as dallying, and turns the steer in a wide arc to the left.

The second cowboy is known as the “heeler”. He trails along beside the steer until the header turns the steer, then moves in behind the steer and attempts to rope the back feet. If he only manages one hind foot, the team receives a five-second penalty. Time is stopped when both cowboys’ horses are facing each other.

CALF SCRAMBLE & GOLD RUSH

This is the time that all of the kids look forward to. At points during the Rodeo children will be called out to participate in the Calf Scramble (must sign up at the event) and the Gold Rush (Younger children will dig through hay to find treasure). Always the highlight of the show.
