===Women=== [[File:FannieSperrySteele.jpg|thumb|[[Fannie Sperry Steele]], Champion Lady Bucking Horse Rider, Winnipeg Stampede, 1913]] Historically, women have long participated in competitive rodeo. [[Prairie Rose Henderson]] debuted at the Cheyenne rodeo in 1901, and, by 1920, women were competing in [[Roughstock|rough stock]] events, relay races and trick riding. But after Bonnie McCarroll died in the Pendleton Round-Up in 1929 and Marie Gibson died in a horse wreck in 1933, women's competitive participation was curbed.<ref>[[#Johnson|Johnson]]: 30</ref> Rodeo women organized into various associations and staged their own rodeos. Today, women's barrel racing is included as a competitive event in professional rodeo, with breakaway roping and goat tying added at collegiate and lower levels. They compete equally with men in team roping, sometimes in mixed-sex teams. Women also compete in traditional roping and rough stock events at women-only rodeos.
