What is steer wrestling at rodeos?

Steer Wrestling

Steer Wresting: Is a two horse/Rider combination, with one steer. One Rider is the Hazer and is on the steer's right side, while the other Rider is the Dogger and is in the chute on the steer's left side. As in all cattle and cowboy chute events, the Rider's cannot leave the chutes until the steer has cleared the start line. The Hazer is expected to keep the steer straight and between the horses so that the Dogger can jump from his galloping horse and form an arm hold on the steer's horns and twist the head while the steer is running in order to flip the steer over onto it's back, making sure that all four of the legs come completely off of the ground and into the air. The timer stops at the point that the steer is on its side with all four of the legs in the air. Most of the time this event is won in under 5 seconds.
