Warkworth Western Weekend Rodeo
Competitor Roster for July 7th–8th 2007
Warkworth Western Weekend Rodeo presents the finest Rodeo talent in North America. Cowboys and Cow Girls display their courage competing in "activities of necessity" since the dawn of time when man first domesticated the horse and raised bovine in Europe.
When Columbus arrived in 1492, equidae had been absent from the Western Hemisphere for millennia and the indigenous peoples of the Americas had no word for “horse” in their language. The horse had become extinct in North America at at the end of the last Ice Age approximately 11,000 years ago and were not seen again until the second Columbus sailing, when the Spanish introduced the Iberian horse to the new world (Caribbean) a year later in 1493. The Spanish missions continued breeding programs and were established on the mainland (Mexico) in the 1500's by the Conquistadors. The Spanish horses would eventually be lost or stolen and eventually reproduced into large feral herds which became known as the "Mustang" of the great plains. The horse had returned. As a side note, the wheel did not exist in the Western Hemisphere until introduced by the Europeans.
The origins of Rodeo began from the real life tasks of the vaqueros (Spanish version of the cowboy) and cowboys of the Americas as they herded cattle for various purposes such as branding, counting, having their health checked, rounded up for the move to new pastures, or for cattle drives to market often hundreds of miles away. The term Rodeo was also used to refer to the sport which arose out of the working practices of cattle ranching, and it is this latter usage was adopted into the cowboy tradition of the United States and Canada.
The word rodeo first appeared in the English language circa 1825–1834 to describe “cattle round-up” or "cattle ring". Rodeo is derived from the Spanish word rodear, meaning to go around or surround. It often referred to “a pen for cattle at a market or fair.”
Rodeo activities trace back to the Spanish ranches of the 1700’s. During the opening of the west in the early 1800’s American cowboys came in contact with vaqueros from Mexico, Texas and California and began to learn about their ranching techniques. The way of the west was born as ranchers began holding informal competitions after a long days work or in celebration after the long cattle drives of the dusty Wild West. The earliest recorded rodeo was reported in 1864.
The west has been romanticized and the cowboy’s legend is brought to you by the Warkworth Western Weekend Rodeo.
You will see the finest horsemen continuing the legend that made the Old West.
