Goat tying is an event not usually found in pro rodeo competition. It is popular with junior high, high school and college rodeos. It attracts female contenders as well as young people.
Goat tying is a timed event in which a rider races to a staked goat, flips it and ties 3 of its 4 legs. The fastest time wins.
It probably never will be found in pro rodeo but it is a stepping stone for a new generation of cowboys and cowgirls.

Despite first appearances, goat tying requires considerable skill and athletic ability. Starting line will be 70 feet from the goat. The goat should be tied to a stake with a rope at least 8 feet long and the stake should not be visible from the ground. The contestant must ride her horse to the goat, dismount and throw the goat by hand. If the goat is down when contestant reaches the goat, it must be stood up and re-thrown . The rider must then tie any three legs together with a "piggin string" and stand clear. The goat's legs must remain crossed and secured for 6 seconds after completion of the tie. Same rules apply for Tail Tying except the contestant dismounts, straddles the goat and ties a ribbon around the Tail.
