Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys…or DO!

Your little one is sure to remember their first experience competing in the rodeo spotlight as they ride a sheep around the arena, trying to hang on for 8-seconds, just like their bull-riding heros. The child who’s able to cling on the longest each night wins a pair of Justin Boots!

The Snake River Stampede is thrilled to announce a unique Mutton Bustin' experience for children.
