Breakaway roping is a timed event in rodeo where a cowgirl on horseback chases a calf, throws
a loop with a breakaway rope, and when she catches the animal the rope quickly breaks away from the saddle horn. Unlike other roping events, the rope is tied with a nylon string and breaks off of the saddle horn once the rope is secured around the calf, a flag attached to the rope breaks away, signifying a clean catch. The timer stops once the roper breaks away, and the fastest time wins. Breakaway roping showcases speed, precision, and the ropers ability to catch and release the calf in the shortest time possible.
