Mutton busting

Mutton busting is a cowboy rodeo game where kids ride on the backs of sheep, trying to hold on for as long as possible. The sheep are very fluffy and have short legs, making them easier to hold onto than a horse. The idea is to hold on tight and not fall off until the sheep stops moving. This is a way for kids to practice their balance and skills on a live animal, just like adults practice their skills on horses or bulls. It's called "mutton" busting because "mutton" is another word for sheep.
