Cowboys...
The cowboy is in the saddle more than any man on the Plains. He rides
what is well known as the cowboy's saddle, or Brazos tree.The line of its seat from cantle to horn, viewed sidewise, is a
semicircle; there is no fiat place to sit on. This shape gives the
cowboy, seen from the side, all but as perpendicular a seat in the
saddle as the old knight in armor.

The History of Cowgirls

Calf roping, also known as tie-down roping, is a rodeo event that features a calf and a rider mounted on a horse.Timing is critical. From a standstill, a rider will put his horse into
a gallop from the box shortly after the calf leaves the chute, so that
the horse saves valuable seconds by being at near-full speed the moment
the barrier releases.
