The Opotiki Transport Open Bull Ride starts at 2pm sharp. Carries a $1,000 purse (prize money). The cowboys ride a 700kg bull - bred especially for bucking. This is one of the highest paying events on the national circuit attracting around 200 competitors from the South Island and Australia and over 4,000 spectators.
There are amusements, food and drink stands, and clothing and tack (saddlery), available for purchase.
