Li' Cowpokes are ages 2-5 year olds.

Classes are NOT on horseback but on foot.  Parents CAN lead the children through the patterns on foot also.

Lil' Cowpokes will receive a medallion for first place and ribbons for 2-10th place.  We will also be giving out participation ribbons for those who compete but may not complete the patterns yet.  This is the only age group that will be receiving awards at each rodeo.

Events will include:   stick horse barrels (10 gallon buckets will be used as barrels),
                             stick horse poles ( only 2 poles will be used to make a figure eight pattern)
                             goat tail untying (goats will be held for the ribbon to be removed)
