The rodeo portion of Broncs And ’Tonks is produced by BLACK CREEK RODEO, one of Ontario’s premier rodeo organizations. For this event, Black Creek Rodeo has invited their TOP-8 RIDERSs in both BRONC RIDING and BULL RIDING to compete, bringing elite talent and high-energy action to centre field.

• BAREBACK RIDING is one of rodeo’s most physically demanding events, with riders gripping a simple handhold while staying aboard a powerful bucking horse for eight seconds, no saddle, no rein.
  

• BRONC RIDING features riders attempting to stay aboard a powerful, bucking horse for eight seconds, combining strength, balance, and style.
  

• BULL RIDING ups the intensity, as riders face massive bulls known for speed, power, and unpredictability.
  

• RING ENTERTAINERS (Rodeo Clowns) keep the crowd entertained with humour and antics, while also playing a critical role in rider safety.

Whether you’re a longtime rodeo fan or experiencing it for the first time, it’s fast-paced, exciting, and easy to follow.
