Rodeo in San Javier October 20

We made our own tour around the Maule Valley. Came upon this rodeo, bought tickets and went in. No roping was involved in this event - it was strictly two horsemen, and a sturdy calf. They had to control the calf with their horses. The horse was trained to use its chest to herd the calf. They had to circle a small pen twice, with the calf pushed up against the pen, then a gate was opened and they had to control the animal around a larger corral. If the calf slipped back into the smaller pen they had to start all over.
