Danger! Excitement! Action!

No event at the Lakeside Rodeo Arena combines more of these elements than bull riding. A contest that’s been voted The Most Dangerous Sporting Event in America by Sports Writers of America. Bull Riding has become the epitome of rodeo excitement! While there are other popular rodeo events, bull riding dangerously yet predictably exciting, is consistently a crowd favorite. In addition to the excitement of bull riding, other rodeo events such as Jr. Bull Riding and Mutton Bustin (both equally crowd pleasing!) will be included in the Bulls Only Rodeo show.

Through the provision of the Bulls Only Rodeo event, we hope to earn the dollars that will allow our Lakeside Optimist Club to continue to provide the needs for the youth of our community.

OUR GOAL

Provide our spectators an exciting and action packed Rodeo!

Bulls Only Rodeo

  • Bulls Only Rodeo started in 1999, and has been enjoyed annually since.
  • We are sanctioned by the (IPRA) International Professional Rodeo Association.
  • Bull Riders participate from all over the USA, and some from outside the USA, and many of our IPRA Bull Riders qualify for the International Finals Rodeo every year.
  • BOR is made possible because of our all volunteer BOR Committee and LOC Members, but who has made it so successful is our Loyal Bulls Only Rodeo Fans, and Excellent Sponsors that have allowed us to produce Bulls Only Rodeo annually since 1999!

Mutton Bustin

How to get your Mutton Buster signed-up.

On September 1, 2025 (starting at 12am) the link below will be live for you to enter your Mutton Buster’s name for a chance to participate in Bulls Only Rodeo.

We only fill 20 Mutton Busters. We will select the Mutton Busters in the order the sign-ups are received. If you are selected our Mutton Bustin Chairman will contact you and provide all necessary information.

This is a very popular event: We wish we could allow every child to participate. We are sorry to say that we are never able to make all the Parents happy!

Requirments:

Minimum age: 3 years old, Maximun weight limit: 50lbs. Mutton Busters will be weighted the Tuesday before Bulls Only Rodeo and must be under 50lbs to participate.
