Mutton Bustin' - Pace and Cap

alydar_ David · 10-08-2008, 11:52 AM

Much like the monkeys riding dogs, it seems state fairs like to showcase things being used as transport that aren't typically ridden. Such is the case with Mutton Bustin'. Known as the 'Toughest Sport on Wool,' little kids ride very fast sheep much like a bull-riding contest.

Check out the World Championship Mutton Bustin'
Web site for fun videos and the rules and regulations if you're interested.

Some fairs featuring Mutton Bustin' are found in Colorado, Oregon, California, Virginia, Wyoming, Arkansas, Louisiana and Arizona.

One question: Where can we bet on this?

TIP: Entrants rated 1st or 2nd on Factor BAH do very well in these events.

David,

Watch out for 'ringers' in this sport - like wolves in sheep's clothing. Still looking for photos of ostrich racing. Do they have jockeys too?

Every March there is an Ostrich Festival in the Phoenix area. With riders or pulling chariots. The festival is in celebration of the areas long stanting ostrich farms.
