Project Cowboy consists of six rounds, the first of which is “Are You Good in the Saddle?” “Are You Good in the Saddle” is comprised of three elements: Riding Patterns, Obstacle Courses, and Freestyle. In each round contestants will be assessed by judges and receive a score for their performance. Different elements of each round have different point values depending upon the element’s importance.
The second round of the Project Cowboy is “Are You Good on Screen?” This round includes speaking in front of a camera and the judges test for one minute reciting a speech, poem, or song including five words which will be selected by Project Cowboy and assigned at the contestant’s meeting. Timing is vital to a good score as you are responsible for using all sixty seconds of your time but not go over the time allotted.

Round 3 of Project Cowboy is titled, “Can You Think On Four Feet?,” and with good reason.
