Western contest (5)

I believe the answer is:

rodeo

(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "Cowboy riding contest" , "Cowboy event" , "Originally, a round up of cattle" , "Exhibition of cowboy skills" , "American show" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
