Eight riders including junior Dylan Weir and novice Jack Ramon attempted the event but found the animal they had drawn for the ride more than a match. The bulls success was not just in the open section, where Curly, Crusty Critter, Rock, Yaca Bom, Golden Gloves, Air Raid, Red Bull and Billy all threw their mounts Matthew Esposito, Michael Beard, Zac Maher, Ashley Hanby, Joshua Birks, Stuart Orford, Jack Ramon and Dylan Weir inside the eight seconds. None of the novice riders were successful against the unnamed stock squad either.

The prizes that did find ownership amongst the competitors were shared between a mix of local competitors, former local competitors and many others whose names are familiar because they compete in Braidwood and the other Southern Zone events on a regular basis.

 The local local Ladies Heifer ride was awarded to Liv Laurie who, although did not make the six seconds managed to stay on the longest.

The judges were unable to separate the winners of several contests throughout the day.

 In the 11-14 years Steer Ride Braiden Curtis and Braith Nock shared the prize. There was a three way tie for first in theJuvenile under 8s Steer ride with Randon Mancell, Max Sly and Milton Butt sharing the prize.

Two steer undecorators shared the first both  Lauren Smith and Michelle Potter recorded two minutes and 11 seconds to pluck the ribbon from the running animal’s back.

 The Open Bareback Riders showed up the bull riders not only in their ability to hang on but by putting on a spectacular show with the horses under them. Mitchell Tidyman and Jack Searl shared the first prize with 74 point rides.

 In the open Saddle Bronc ride three competitors, Jason Collins, James Darmody and Brody Moss shared in the major prize. The Local Steer Ride was won by Jack Brodrick and the Local Barrel Race by Keira Ward.
