RODEO EVENTS

Bull Riding

Rodeo competitions originated from the daily challenges faced by cowboys on the ranch, encompassing activities like roping calves and breaking broncs into saddle horses. Among these challenges, bull riding emerged as a daring feat, requiring cowboys to mount 2,000-pound bulls equipped with dangerous horns.

Despite the inherent risks, bull riding remains a beloved and thrilling event in rodeo, demanding intense physical prowess, mental toughness, and courage from its participants. Riders cling to the bull for eight seconds using only one hand, with no room for error—if they touch the bull or themselves, they receive no score. Every bull's bucking behavior is unique, adding to the unpredictability and excitement of the event.
