MINISTERIAL WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome to the Mount Isa Mines Rodeo, a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Outback Queensland’s local culture and community, and hopefully explore some of the superb tourism experiences on offer here. The impacts of the pandemic have provided incredible challenges, but thanks to the hard work of Queenslanders our state was one of the first to put in place a COVID Safe Event Framework which paved the way for events such as this one to take place. The Queensland Government is proud to support The Mount Isa Mines Rodeo, through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Major Event program and it is a feature on our It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar. Events are an important part of our state’s economic recovery from the pandemic because they attract visitors to the region which stimulates the local economy and supports local jobs. Events are also an important opportunity for communities, friends, families and visitors to come together, creating community pride and reconnecting us. Congratulations to the event organisers and all those involved in organising this event – may it be a successful one. If you are visiting for the event, I encourage you to make some time to explore the diverse tourism experiences on offer in this beautiful region. The Hon. Stirling Hinchliffe MP Minister for Tourism Industry Development and Innovation and Minister for Sport

MOUNT ISA MINES RODEO - 2021
MOUNT ISA MINES AND THE ISA RODEO – A LEGENDARY PARTNERSHIP Mount Isa Mines is proud to be the naming rights and founding sponsor of the Mount Isa Mines Rodeo as it returns to the arena in Mount Isa this year, under a COVID Safe plan. After a difficult year, our sponsorship continues to support the community when it needs it the most. Mount Isa Mines and the Isa Rodeo together have formed a legendary partnership since 1959, and we’re standing alongside the Isa Rodeo to bring you the 2021 Mount Isa Mines Rodeo again this year. Mount Isa Mines has been a major sponsor since the first rodeo over 60 years ago, and we’re proud to make a positive and lasting contribution across the region. Whether it’s developing tomorrow’s talent, supporting generations of local jobs, investing in community infrastructure or funding valuable community initiatives, we’re a business that invests in our people and the communities where we operate. We hope you enjoy this year’s rodeo and the benefits it brings to the region.

FRIDAY 13 AUGUST RODEO ROCK CONCERT
Buchanan Park Events Complex SHEPPARD Boasting over three million listeners per month on Spotify, over 850 million streams across all platforms, and a handful of #1’s and Top Ten hits in countries around the world, Queensland’s Sheppard have already achieved more than most bands could dream of in their lifetime. The band — now a core three-piece of founding members and siblings George, Amy, and Emma are sounding more assured and effortless than ever. CASEY BARNES Australian country star Casey Barnes is back to further propel his country-pop rock with those iconic foot-stomping performances. Fans can expect to see the country luminary’s impressive vitality and killer performance chops on full display!
SATURDAY 14 AUGUST RODEO ROCK CONCERT
Buchanan Park Events Complex LEE KERNAGHAN Lee Kernaghan has reinvigorated Australian Country Music, synthesising traditional country themes with his own brand of rural rock and images of an evolving regional culture. Songs like The Outback Club, Boys from The Bush, Hat Town, She’s My Ute and Australian Boy are now modern-day anthems for a generation of Australians living and working on the land. MICK LINDSAY Queensland country music star Mick Lindsay offered the world a cheekier side of himself with his casual and charming new track By the Way. Lindsay crafts unique fusions of country, rock, soul, funk and pop – and has developed a cult following in the process. 11
RODEO 101 The Mount Isa Mines Rodeo features eight major events – Saddle Bronc, Bareback Bronc, Bull Riding, Steer Wrestling, Rope & Tie, Team Roping, Ladies Barrel Racing and Ladies Breakaway Roping, as well as Local Station Buck Jump and Poddy Rides.
SADDLE BRONC
As the rider leaves the chute, he must synchronise his spurring action with the horse’s bucking and stay on for eight seconds. The rider is judged on style and spurring action and disqualified if he touches the horse or equipment with his free hand, loses a stirrup or bucked off before the end of the ride.
BAREBACK BRONC
With only a leather pad and handle, the rider must hold on with one hand for eight seconds. As the horse bucks, he jerks his feet towards the wither, snapping them back into position in front of the shoulder ready for the next jump. The rider is judged on his spurring action and disqualified if he touches the horse, himself or equipment with his free hand or bucked off before the end of the ride.
BULL RIDING
Fast, furious and dangerous. The rider holds on with one hand and must stay on the bucking bull for eight seconds. Both animal and rider are judged – the rider on his style and the bull’s ability to buck the rider before the buzzer. The rider uses his feet to pull into 12
MOUNT ISA MINES RODEO - 2021
position or hold himself upright while the bull is spinning and disqualified if he touches the bull or equipment with his free hand.
STEER WRESTLING
With the use of a helper or hazer riding alongside the steer to keep it running straight, the rider must lean from his horse and grasp the steer’s horns. The rider then dismounts the horse and uses his feet to stop the steer’s forward momentum before rolling the steer to the ground. The clock is stopped once the steer is on its side with all four legs pointing in the same direction. Winning times are under five seconds from when the barrier is released.
ROPE & TIE
The calf is given a head start before the rider gives chase. From horseback, the rider ropes the calf and dismounts, rolling the calf on one side and tying three of the calf’s legs together. The time is recorded once the tie is complete. The rider remounts his horse to prove the tie will hold – no time is given if the animal kicks free. The rider is disqualified and fined if the animal is pulled backwards off its feet or dragged after it is roped.
TEAM ROPING
Featuring a two-rider team, the steer is given a head start. The header ropes the steer around the neck, head or horns before the heeler moves in to rope the hind legs. The rope is then dallied around the saddle horn. Once secured, time is recorded when both horses are facing each other with no slack in the rope. Winning times are around eight seconds. Improper catches result in disqualification and five second penalties are incurred if only one leg is roped.
LADIES BARREL RACING
Competing against the clock, the rider guides her horse around a clover leaf pattern of three 205L drums. Time penalties are imposed for knocking over a barrel and disqualification for running in an incorrect pattern. The rider may hold the barrel from the riding position to prevent her from falling. Time is taken by an electric eye to the hundredth of a second.
LADIES BREAKAWAY ROPING
After a head start, the rider gives chase and catches the calf with a rope attached to the
saddle horn with a ribbon. Once the catch is made, the horse slides to a halt, the rope breaks away from the saddle horn and the clock stops. A piece of coloured cloth is attached to the end of the rope to assist the judges in seeing and timing the break.
PODDY RIDES
Poddy Rides is an event for riders aged eight to 13 starting out in their rodeo careers. Similar to bull riding, the rider is strapped down to the poddy with one hand using a bull rope. The free hand must be raised at all times without touching the poddy or himself. While not compulsory, the rider may pick up extra points if he spurs. The rider must stay on the poddy for six seconds.

MOUNT ISA MINES RODEO - 2021
HAULAGE
ANIMAL CARE We have a long and proud history of rodeo as a sport in Australia. Based on the work practices of Australian Stockmen, the sport emulates the skills required for handling livestock on traditional cattle properties. A key part of the Isa Rodeo’s reputation for providing outstanding rodeo competition, year after year, is based on our respect and commitment to the welfare of the livestock. As with any sport, human or animal, peak performance is only achieved through proper care and good health. We believe our animals will perform their best when they are happy, healthy and in top condition. As a result, the Isa Rodeo has some of the highest animal welfare standards guided by the Australian Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) Animal Welfare Code of Conduct.
HOW OFTEN ARE ANIMALS INJURED?
FLANK STRAPS
A survey conducted by the APRA showed the injury rate for animals used in rodeos throughout Australia is 0.072 per cent. Our target for the Isa Rodeo is zero animal injuries for each event. Just in case, we have a qualified veterinarian on hand. More often than not, the rider comes off second best, so we have paramedics on hand too. We also ensure our livestock are specifically bred and trained for the rodeo arena and comply with changes to competition rules.
ROPING DEVICE
Recently, we have introduced the Ropersmate roping device – a unique product developed in consultation with industry to reduce the risk of injury on both horses and cattle during rodeo events. The roping device works as a “shock absorber” to lessen the force experienced by both the horse and the calf, when the calf is roped. Similar to abseiling equipment, it is made from high strength anodised aluminium and attached to the rider’s saddle horn. The lasso rope is threaded through the device with a backstopper knot to prevent the rope from running through the end. The device has demonstrated high durability during all field testing and proven to reduce the impact by up to 75 per cent. The roping device has been endorsed by all major Rodeo Associations in Australia as a standard minimum equipment requirement for competition in all Australianbased rodeo rope and tie events.
TM
Unlike popular belief, a beast’s bucking action is not caused by pain inflicted from the flank strap wrapped around the animal’s genital area. The lined portion of the flank strap must be positioned over the flank and belly of the animal. It must also be covered with sheep skin or other suitable material and fitted with a quick release. At no time does the flank strap come in contact with the genitals and is rarely pulled tighter than your trouser belt.
ELECTRIC PROD
We do not use electric prods on animals in the arena or where it is unable to move in response to the prod such as the chutes. Prods can only be powered by dry cell batteries, as used in torches, must be used with restraint and restricted to the minimum amount necessary. Prods can only be used by stock contractors or by a person nominated by them under direct supervision.
SPURS
Spurs used by contestants in bucking horse events must have blunt, free running rowels and must be at least 3mm thick and 2cm in diameter so they will not bruise or cut an animal. Spurs for bulls are semilocked. Non-regulation spurs will result in disqualification. For more information, please contact the APRA on (07) 4661 8183 or visit prorodeo.com.au. 21

VISITING MOUNT ISA Mount Isa is located just 200 kilometres from the Northern Territory border and 1,829 kilometres from Queensland’s capital, Brisbane. The nearest major city, Townsville, can be found 883 kilometres from The Isa.
OUR HISTORY
Famous for its rich mining history, the region was first home to the Kalkadoon people. Masterful tool and weapon makers, the Kalkadoon goods were so prized that items such as stone knives, boomerangs, woomera spears and shields were found as far away as South Australia. In 1923, a lone prospector in search of gold, John Campbell Miles, discovered silver-lead ore about one kilometre across the valley of the Leichhardt River, in north-west Queensland. He named his prospecting leases Mount Isa. Almost 100
years later, the Mount Isa Mine now owned by Mount Isa Mines, is still one of Australia’s largest producers of copper ore.
RECOGNISED BY AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC
Mount Isa was named one of the top 10 Outback towns to visit by the Australian Geographic. Here’s what they had to say, “Mount Isa might conjure up images of smokestacks and mining but surrounding this town is a countryside filled with scenic 4WD tracks, man-made lakes and a heritage-listed national park”.

THE A TO Z GUIDE OF CLASSIC RODEO LINGO ARM JERKER - a really stout animal that bucks with a lot of power. BUCKING CHUTES - an enclosure where contestants get on their drawn bucking horse or bull. CATCH AS CATCH CAN - any catch is legal (around neck, body, back legs). COMMUNITY LOOP - throwing an exceptionally large loop.
LOUNGER - a horse that thrusts with hind feet forward rather than kicking out behind. MARK OUT - the rider must have both feet over the point of the horse’s shoulders before the horse’s front feet hit the ground. MASH UP - clamping onto the horse with both legs and having no spurring action.
CROSS FIRE - the heeler throws his rope before the header has changed direction of the steer.
MONEY BARREL - the first barrel in barrel racing. A good first barrel sets the rider up for a good pattern.
DALLIED - the action of wrapping a lasso around a saddle horn after a calf or steer has been roped.
OUT THE BACK DOOR - when a rider is thrown off over the hind end of the animal.
DOGFALL - a steer’s head facing in the opposite direction of his body with his feet caught under him. Rider must re-throw the steer. DRAGGER OR TROTTER - a steer that hangs his head and doesn’t run after being roped, many times trotting or stopping. FADING - a bull that spins and slowly gains ground in the direction he is spinning. FLOATER - a horse with little power, jumping with all four feet up floating through the air. FULL LICK - spurring from the point of the horse’s shoulder to the back to the cantle of his saddle. HAT BENDER - an animal that doesn’t buck. HAZER - a cowboy who rides along the righthand side of the steer keeping it running in a straight line. This makes the steer wrestler’s job easier when jumping from his horse. HEAD HUNTER - a bull that looks for someone to charge. 30
LAP & TAP - no barrier is used.
MOUNT ISA MINES RODEO - 2021
PANTYHOSE - the heeler has roped the heels and the rope passes beyond the steer’s hocks and catches up under both flanks of the steer. PULLING LEATHER - grabbing hold of the saddle. RAKE - spurring action. RANK - an animal that is difficult to ride. SCOOTER - pivoting on the front end with no real kicking action from the back. SOFT - an easy animal to ride or compete on. SPURRING LICK - getting in rhythm with the bucking action of the animal. STAR GAZER - a horse that bucks with his head up making it difficult for the rider to keep the slack out of his hack rein and to balance. SUCKS BACK - an animal suddenly changes the direction in which it was bucking. SUN FISHER - the animal twists his body in the air so that daylight shines on his belly.

MOUNT ISA MINES RODEO - 2021
CONTRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY In 1959, a group of people with passion and an intrinsic sense of potential formed the Mount Isa Rodeo. Their vision was to put the new, remote town of Mount Isa on the map and raise funds for charity organisations in the new city. Through 62 years of whip-cracking vision and dedication, the Rodeo evolved into an event of legendary status. Since its inception, the Isa Rodeo has directly given over $6m to charity. In addition, the event provides North West Queensland the largest fundraising platform giving important fundraising opportunities for clubs, non-profit groups, schools and community services throughout the region. By supporting the Isa Rodeo, you’re also supporting our wider community.
WE
OUR COMMUNITY
With non-profit objectives, Isa Rodeo Limited, a company limited by guarantee, presents the Mount Isa Mines Rodeo. The Isa Rodeo has raised over $6 million which has been donated back to charities, health, educational, cultural and sporting groups in Mount Isa and across the North West region. The Rodeo is the largest fundraising platform in the region for many community groups and services.

VOLUNTEERS We are supported by over 900 volunteers who undertake 1,200 shifts during the event. Our volunteers represent all walks of life, all age groups (from 18 years and up), some driven by an interest in Rodeo and all with a drive to help community and the spirit of the event. While many of our volunteers are from the local community, some travel vast distances to help out, returning annually to Mount Isa. Thank you to everyone, the quiet achievers, who have and continue to work collectively above and beyond, behind the scenes to make the Mount Isa Mines Rodeo what it is today.
