Tiedown - lasso the calfand tie it up. The lasso is attached to the horse and the horse will keep the rope taut once the calf is caught. The rider dismounts and lifts the calf and dropit to the ground on its side or back before tying up the calf's legs. Scoring is based on time taken.

Ladies breakaway. Due to the strength required to tie the calf down, the cowgirls lasso the calf and then let it run away. The lasso is not attached to the horse in this case.
