World’s Toughest Rodeo is exactly what the name suggests - an annual attempt to find the cowboy who has guts, strength, presence of mind and precision. If last year’s competition had you biting your nails, the 2008 World’s Toughest Rodeo will definitely have you sweating and your pulse racing. Twelve Toughest Cowboy contenders paired into match-ups, each competing in all three rough-stock disciplines - bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding. You don’t see this everyday. This is the iron man competition of rodeo that tests endurance, ability and strength of will!

World’s Toughest Rodeo has always had the brawn and stamina. Now they’re adding the beauty and speed! The ladies barrel racing is returning to the rodeo as an added feature. During the 2008 World’s Toughest Rodeo, you will get to watch the women in a race against the clock to take home the prize money.

At the end of the 2008 World’s Toughest Rodeo, one cowboy will walk away with the Toughest Cowboy title and a deed to the Jager Ranch in Colorado.

World’s Toughest Cowboy implements a simple format - 12 Cowboys, 3 Rides, 1 Champion. Each cowboy gets on three animals (Bareback horse, Saddle Bronc horse and a Bull) and competes head-to-head with another cowboy for wins in each of the three rides. The cowboy with the highest score in each ride gets a win and the cowboy with the most aggregate points for all three rounds earns an extra win.

Unlike traditional rodeo, World’s Toughest Cowboy never disqualifies a rider. Instead riders are penalized points if they’re bucked off or touch the animal. One point is subtracted from their total score for each tenth of a second that they are not able to complete of their eight-second ride.
