Rodeo Tradition Captivates Fans at Broncos Halftime Show
Denver, CO – Mutton bustin’, a beloved rodeo tradition, brought excitement to the halftime of the Broncos game at Empower Field at Mile High this past Sunday. The energetic event, which typically takes place at rodeos like the National Western Stock Show, showcased children aged 6 and under, weighing no more than 55 pounds, who donned helmets to ride on sheep.
During the halftime show, young participants clambered atop their woolly mounts, aiming to hold on for as long as possible as the sheep bolted across the arena. While a few riders met the ground swiftly upon takeoff, the spirited children showcased resilience, quickly bouncing back to their feet after each tumble, much to the delight of the crowd.
For fans eager to witness more mutton bustin’, there’s good news on the horizon. The National Western Stock Show and Rodeo is set to celebrate this thrilling event on January 13 and 16, featuring dedicated mutton bustin’ competitions, in addition to integrating it within various rodeo events taking place throughout the show.
The upcoming National Western event promises to offer plenty of mutton bustin’ fun and excitement, allowing spectators to enjoy the charm and unpredictability of this classic rodeo activity. Interested fans can find more information on the National Western’s official website.
This lively halftime entertainment not only highlighted a unique aspect of rodeo culture but also fostered community spirit, leaving fans and participants alike with smiles and laughter.
