Participating in horse riding games, which are highly exhilarating and intoxicating is every horse-rider’s dream. As a person gradually grows from being an amateur through to a professional this dream only gets stronger. This article will come as a boon to many horse-riding enthusiasts who want to know about the games that can be played mounting the horse’s back.

Horse riding games can be enjoyable for people of all ages and genders and at various level of skill. Certain games, especially those played by children, ponies are used. Different games are designed for the enjoyment of couples, individuals or teams.

Most of these games are enjoyed on the horse’s back and are played as individuals, paired or team events. Some games can be enjoyed by adults and children. One popular game for children are the Egg and Spoon Race. In this game the child rides on a pony, equipped with a spoon and an egg. While riding the horse he needs to balance the egg on the spoon which is held in his mouth until he reaches the finish line. Along with the joy riding on the horse, the child also learns concentration and balancing skills.

Another game is the horse-riding relay game which is played in pairs. It is also called a Pairs race. Each pair can use only one horse. In this event, one member of the team mounts the horse and reaches another point where their partner is waiting. On reaching their partner, the rider has to get off the horse and help their partner mount the horse. The pair that completes the entire event in the shortest time possible is declared as the winner.

There are many horse riding games which test the control of the rider over the horse. One such game is barrel racing where the individual has to complete a preset pattern formed by using barrels in the shortest time. Though this game originated as an event for women, it is equally enjoyed by both sexes in today.

Another game which tests the horse control skills, but is for professionals, is the barrel racing event. In this event, the rider has to manoeuvre the horse around a preset formation arranged by using barrels. This event initially originated for women horse-riding enthusiasts, but today, it is enjoyed by both sexes equally.

Another famous horse-riding game is steer wrestling. This is a bizarre version of bull fighting. In steer wrestling, the rider mounts the horse and chases the steer (a bull with long and sharp horns). On catching up with the steer, the rider has to jump off from the horse and wrestles with the steer by holding on to its horns. This event is highly risky since there are high chances of injury to the rider. Also, the animal rights community has raised its voice against the cruelty meted out to animals in this event.

Polo is a favourite horse-riding sport for people all over the world. This game is also a great pastime for the elite in society. The polo teams consist of 4 members each and their horses. The team with the highest number of goals at the end of the game is declared the winner. The members score points for the team by directing the wooden or plastic white ball into the goal post of the opposite team. The ball is hit using long wooden sticks called the mallet which is similar to the hockey stick but with variations. This game can be played either indoors or outdoors. It can be played during the bright and sunny summer season or during the cold and frozen winter season.

The Tuff Hedeman Championship ( www.pbrnow.com ) Challenge title moved Collins to twelfth place in the current BFTS point standings and added a healthy $34,704 to his bank account. While neither Adriano Moraes (Sao Paulo, Brazil) or Justin McBride (Elk City, Okla.) advanced to the championship go-round, the two maintain their chokehold on the top two positions in BFTS point standings. Moraes added a mere two points to his lead over worthy adversary McBride in Fort Worth. 1,394 currently separates the two.

As selected by the event judges, the top bull honors were awarded to Page and Teague Bucking Bulls’ Hotel California who tossed Andre’ Moraes during final go-round action. Second place went to Klein and Sons’ Smokeless Wardance.

During a special ceremony held during the Saturday evening performance Keuka College president Joe Burke accompanied by athletic director David Sweet, and athletic trainer Jeff Bray, presented cowboy lifesaver and five-time world champion bullfighter Rob Smets (Merkel, Texas) with an honorary degree. Located in upstate New York, Keuka College bestowed its highest honor upon Smets in recognition of his civic and professional achievements. On behalf of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and the trustees of Keuka College, Smets received the Doctor of Humane Letters honorary degree and diploma.

PBR commentary during OLN’s broadcast of the Tuff Hedeman Championship Challenge is brought to fans by the capable team of Leah Garcia, Brett Haber, Tuff Hedeman, and Justin McKee. Leah Garcia handles the sideline interviews. Since 1998 Garcia has covered professional mountain bike racing, cycling, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, rodeo, and now bull riding. Her work has been seen on NBC, ESPN, ESPN2, TNN, The Oxygen Network, Syndicated TV, and OLN. Nine-time Emmy award winner Brett Haber, has been a commentator for OLN since March of 2003 and became the play-by-play voice of the PBR in October of that same year. Haber’s witty writing style and on-air approach have made him one of the most innovative sportscasters in the country. Tuff Hedeman needs no introduction in bull riding circles. The current PBR President and four-time world champion bull rider brings to the broadcast his vast knowledge of bull riding, as well as tremendous experience behind the microphone as a guest commentator on both OLN and NBC. Justin McKee formerly served as a live event announcer at nearly every tour event virtually since the PBR’s inception and has consequently been dubbed “the voice of the PBR.”
