Special
needs children in San Dimas and surrounding communities participate
in real rodeo events at the San Dimas Challenged Buckaroos Rodeo.
Events include bull riding, bareback
riding, roping, steer wrestling and barrel racing. Children are
paired with a professional cowboy/cowgirl to assist them with
the different events. Instead of riding real bucking bulls and
horses, the children ride stick horses, lightweight “dummy”
steers and a specially designed, hand-rocked bareback horse and
bull.
All the children who participate
in the San Dimas Challenged Buckaroos Rodeo receive a T-shirt,
bandana, lariat rope and a photo taken with their cowboy/cowgirl
partner.
“The purpose of the San Dimas
Challenged Buckaroos Rodeo is to have a way for special needs
children in our communities to be able to participate in the rodeo,”
Tammy Norman, chairman of this year’s San Dimas Challenged
Buckaroos Rodeo, said. “It is a way for the rodeo committee
to give back to the community.”
In order for a child to participate
he or she must be between three and twelve years of age, a special
needs child and not exceed 80 lbs.
