The 2024 Indiana State Fair Championship Rodeo took place over two days, with Statehouse File reporter Arianna Hunt capturing the action on Saturday, the day after rain postponed the competition and temporarily closed the fairgrounds. Fairgoers watched as male and female competitors raced against the best times in barrel racing, bull riding and other events that drew gasps and cheers from a crowded Grandstand.
Sliding off your horse into the mud to wrestle a steer to the ground is not for the faint of heart.

Wyatt Bowen (middle), his wife and barrel racer and breakaway roper Alyssa Bowen (right) and two-year-old daughter Kinsley pose for a picture after Wyatt rides a bull that had never successfully been ridden before. "I do get nervous sometimes, but I trust him," Alyssa said. Alyssa and Wyatt live the rodeo life together, as for Kinsley, they think she'll join in on it when she's old enough.

After a successful run of bull riding, Wyatt Bowen heads to go get cleaned up. Wyatt restarted his journey of bull riding in 2017. "I mean ever since I was eight, [I have been riding] ever since I was little. I took a long break in high school because I played high school sports, came back in 2017, started getting back on. I just love it," he said.

"You to have the thrive for anything in rodeo," said Wyatt Bowen. After an eight-second run, Wyatt Bowen finally lets go of the bull.

While his wife cheers him on yelling in the background, Wyatt Bowen holds on tight as he hits that eight second mark, successfully riding a bull that had never been beaten before."It's a lifestyle. You thrive it. You own it. You know, there are times where you get hurt and there's setbacks ... I mean I thrive it. Ever since I was little [I have been riding] ever since I was eight .... I just love it. I mean it's just, you got to have thrive for anything in rodeo," he said.

There are only two penalties in barrel racing, knocking down a barrel which will add five seconds to the racer's time, and breaking the "clover" pattern of racing which will result in a "no time" score.

As the "heeler" in team roping, this cowboy is aiming for the back legs of the bull. During team roping the "header" has to rope either the neck, both horns, or one horn and the snout of the steer, followed by their teammate "the heeler," who must catch the hind feet of the bull.

Breakaway calf-roping is considered one of the fastest events in rodeo. The rope the rider uses is attached to the saddle horn with a string that will snap when the calf gets far enough away. The rider must lasso the calf around the neck and when the sting breaks and that is the end of the run. The fastest run wins.

When steer wrestling, the cowboy that wrestles the steer to the ground is called the bulldogger, and the cowboy that stays on his horse and keeps the steer going straight is called the hazer. When the bulldogger gets close enough, they slide off their horse and hook their right arm around the steers right horn and then work to bring it to the ground. Time stops when the steer is on its side with all four feet in the same direction.
