HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Parents, mark your calendars! Registration is now open for your little ones to have the opportunity to participate in one of the most fan-favorite events at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo: Mutton Bustin'.

Mutton Bustin' is basically a kids' version of bull riding. Each kid gets on top of a sheep, clutches the wool, and holds on tightly.

The video above is from a previous report.

In 2023, the rodeo will run from Feb. 28 to March 19.

The competition will take place at The Junction, as well as at NRG Stadium.
