Watching mutton busting makes me real nervous. I’m always afraid that a kid might get seriously hurt. I’m sure it must be safer than it looks.

I was the photographer for a bull riding series in the hill country back in 2008-2010, and they always had mutton bustin'.

About the most hilarious thing I have ever seen.
Not just the kids hanging on to those sheep as they rocketed out of the chute, but also the half looped parents and grandparents in the stand laughing their asses off when their little darlin comes off face first and then gets up with a mouth full of dirt and sheep dung!

Really funny stuff and never say a kid get anything hurt other then their feelings.

I think they put helmets on them now. Saw one within the last year.

some of the parents get really serious about it and dress the kids in full bull riding gear, but yes, helmets on all of them.

San Antonio puts a flack jacket type jacket on them and a hockey helmet & mask.
