All necessary equipment (Rigging, Spurs, Bell, Bell Loop, Vest, Helmet, Mouthpiece, Glove, rosin, and if sharing a rigging - fill out the shared rigging form at registration). I am amazed to see new riders riding without Spurs. The first benefit they provide is to help the rider hang on?

Rider must secure commitments from "seasoned" Assistants to act as your Safety, and your Riggin Puller / Setter. (These are not provided for you)

The Rider must know how to rig their own animal, and set the riggin to their specifications for a safe ride. Rider should not expect, or rely on others to do this.

Check in with your line up assistant behind the chutes well in advance, so you can rig your animal as soon as you can.

Be prepared to ride! The Chute Crew may skip a rider due to an unforeseen issue, and may be coming to you at a moments notice. You should have all your equipment on, and be ready!

Know the basics on how to enter the Chute, how to treat the animals with respect, and to avoid any chance of injury.

It takes more than one person to ride a bull, bronc, or steer. Show some appreciation to those that help you, as taking anyone for granted, will leave you with little assistance down the road. (Thank your stock contractor, chute crew, judges, gate pullers, rodeo clown, pick up men, and your puller / safety)
