I'm an American country boy, and I think rodeos are crazy, too. Them idiots just need to get the crap kicked out of em for no reason.
No schools for it really, most are just raised in it, its generational... and it depends on which rodeo circuits you compete in. I used to break and train horses for those who would then take them to go compete. only crazies there are the bull riders, there are a lot of Major injuries and have been deaths in that. the rest is no different then most other sports you are just doing it with a 600-800lb animal.
Bull riding is the only rodeo event that doesn't have its roots in daily ranch life/chores. It is more of a "hold my beer and watch this" sort of thing.
Fun fact: In WWII the military drafted most heavily from these rural states. The city folks and the Europeans may find us to be coarse, but we are very tough and smarter than they may think. Those who came west from the cities in the 1800s were risk-takers. When the feces hits the fan, we will survive, so there is that... (5th generation Montanan here)
I couldn't agree more
And let's not forget they were taught by the Hispanic vaqueros
What she didn't mention is that the kids ages went up in each event. So tiny kids on sheep, older kids on ponies (they weren't on full size horses), teenagers on bulls (smaller and less aggressive bulls than the adults ride). When they got to the guy who got injured and the woman said "that's my son," that was part of the main event. he was an adult riding a full size horse. It was all adults after the teenagers riding the smallish bulls.
Many of these skills are needed for ranching - evolved into rodeo.
NO, it's not crazy. What is crazy is what they do to the bull in Spain, killing it in the arena merely because the bull does what it is taunted to do; namely going after the piece of cloth/ cape waved in its' face!
And in Spain they torture the bull by tearing down it's neck muscles before the matador even gets in the ring. Usually the bull loses and is killed.
Everything they do does not hurt the animals , matter in fact those animals are taken care of better than many humans.
Thats good
I like the rodeo but do you really pretend that any animal being picked up and slammed on their side dosent hurt at all? And ive only been to probably 6 rodeos but in those i saw a horse die and a steer break a leg They didnt look like they were having fun
@@ryanlaymon2329does it hurt them a little? Yes.
Does it hurt them any more than anything else in nature
Take Bull Riding for example...you need the bull pissed off so he bucks hard. So yes they do razz the animals up quite a bit, but i wouldn't call it abuse as they are well cared for otherwise
@@bradbutcher8762 razzed might still be an overstatement. I’ve been bullied by geese with no razzing involved. 😂
My dad has been rodeoing for more than 60 years. He is currently 82, and still competing. In fact, he qualified for the National finals rodeo for his ranking. Damn good for an 82 year old!
What you dont understand about rodeo is that all categories of competition(except bull riding and barrel racing) have a reason within ranch work. Less now days with modern equipment, but some will never be able to be done well by a machine.
Calf roping with the tie down is done to be able to brand/tag and doctor calves. Steer roping is done for doctoring. Bucking bronc riding is done to train horses to be able to be rode. They arent born like saddles and people on them.
Does it hurt the animals. Yes, sonetimes they do get injured.
However, it is far more likely that the human will be injured than the animals. Especially in the rough stock.
I will say this. I am far more upset by the bull fighting that is done in Latin America, Portugal and Spain. That is far more vicious and cruel.
The animals used for rodeo are well cared for and never tortured until death. If they are injured they are cared for. If the injury is too severe they are humanely euthanized.
Bucking horses are bred to do what they do and so are bulls. They are not razzed or frightened to get them to buck. The horses are not broke to ride and a flank strap is used. The same with bulls. The flank strap sits loosely just in front of their hind legs. They dont like it there, but it isnt causing pain or injury. If you touch a lot horses flanks with your hand they will jump or kick. Just from a light touch.
There are rodeos all over the country including Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden in New York. The closest one to me is the Pendleton Round up in Pendleton, Oregon. It is a week long event in September. Even the schools close so everyone can participate. A very cultural event all over the country.
yes, we even have them in the Appalachian Mountains. I'm pretty sure there was one up near Baltimore back when I lived there a few decades ago
Its a bad tradition that should be banned. The animals don't like it and they're not entertainment.
@@truth4004😂😂😂😂 you can have your silly opinions and the majority of us that live in reality that actually see the animals daily - they love their working side as long as they are treated well, they aren’t harmed . If you want to attack something attack bull fighting where they actually harm the animal. It’s really dumb to comment on issues you know nothing about- snowflake. Are you vegan also ; you do realize how many animals are killed to prepare a field for planting ( such as your tofu and soy)
@@truth4004gee thanks for relaying the message Dr Dolittle. Glad you speak sheep.
Howdy from one who grew up in Pendleton and hope yo go for the parades, the Round Up, and
Happy Canyom.
Rodeos are everywhere, in all states. They have rodeos all over California, even in LA.
American ranch folk are tough. Descendants of the toughest pioneers in history. Never quit.
Exactly
We PROUDLY sing our national anthem at every sporting event and almost any public and many private events too. We stand take off our hats and pay respect to our Nation and all who lost their lives for our freedom!
Just getting started in the video, but especially in country towns like this if you can get out of your comfort zone a little a strike up a few conversations with strangers, there's a really good chance that you'll just get adopted by a group and brought along like you're a lifelong friend. They'll be happy to show you the ropes and make sure you have a good time.
As a Canadian we love rodeo too. And in Spain and Portugal they have bull fighting and running with the bulls etc. which we find crazy.
I grew up in a little town just outside of San Diego, California. We had a rodeo once a year in our town, along with a fair and parade, and I always went and had a great time. There are a lot of small towns and little cities around San Diego that have a rodeo ever year.
Lol, you from Lakeside?
I live in PA now but grew up in Poway.@@colleenmonell1601
God Bless You I was born and raised in the 🇺🇲. Because of your interest in my country I subscribed to your channel. And I always give you a thumbs up. I so hope you get a lot subscribers.
We love people from around the world and your reactions makes us love you even more.
Children who are raised around the rodeo lifestyle. They are trained before they are ever in a rodeo. They also wear padding so when they fall off a horse or bull it's not as major as you might think. The kids have been around rodeos all their lives. This is the life of cowboys.
Exactly! My dad has rodeoed for more than 60 years. He's 82 and still winning. He team ropes. Used to Calf rope.
I was riding horses and going to rodeos before I could walk. I learned to herd cattle on foot or horse, load his shoots, and run his gate for him before I was 7. My job was to warm up his horse at ropins.
Rodeo kids learn young. I even learned to barrel race. I did not enjoy the bruises. It's a way of life, and you can get tough and cowboy up, or cry in the truck. Not for the frilly.
America is found in the small towns.
This is primarily a youth rodeo, age limit is 14.
Some of the best protected animals in the world or rodeo those children have been practicing from the day they could toddle. Most of those kids were put on a horse before they could walk. Most of them can also drive
She did not "look" out of place, but I bet she felt out of place. She wasn't sure what to do or what to expect and for that she "felt" awkward, but she did fine and looked right at home.
Our rural towns have HS rodeo. My father rode broncos in HS, only rode bull one time ... never again! Country people are real "god & country" people. "Merica!
My high school in SE Texas had its own rodeo. Every Friday night, the AG, FFA kids, and kids from the area community participated in our rodeo. Of course, this was in the 70s and earlier. It's not much more dangerous than American football. Except at that time, there was no safety equipment like helmets and Kevlar vests. My family went to the rodeo most every Friday night during rodeo season.
Rodeos travel all over the USA, its a way for people to show off their skills and bravery, and win money and prizes. It usually shows up as a fair and rodeo where I come from. They usually have a 4H show for people to compete in livestock competitions ( Kids hand raise animals and compete in the best as a way to learn more about animal husbandry, and animal sales.)They usually have produce and cooking and eating competitions, and a large market where small venders can some to sell hand crafted goods and products. Then there is the fair with carnival rides and game booths, and finally the rodeo where people of all ages can compete and show off their skills. Even the little ones can compete in mutton bustin and roping competitions. The show animals are actually able to live longer and better lives as they are wanted for competitions and breeding rather then being sent to the butcher and processing centers. So the rodeos and stock shows actually save the lives of many animals, and is one of the reasons that people enter the animals that they have hand raised, its harder to send off a beloved animal that you have become attached to. So people dress them up and make them pretty for competitions so they can keep them and protect them, and also get a bit of a return on them as that is the reason that most people raise livestock. The Republican party is known as the working mans party, they are known to pass bills that help the laborer rather then the bigger businesses', most of the South is populated with regular working men and women so yes, we vote with the party that better represents us, and our concerns. I myself am a proud Republican, and probably will always be. Someone needs to steam and shape her hat, if it rained the water would run right down her neck and back, they are shaped to shield the face and neck of the wearer from the elements. The camera is what is causing people to take a second look, not her lol.
Based on the hat she had, she would have immediately been identified as an outsider, that is NOT a cowboy hat. That's a very small local rodeo, they are everywhere in the US, including California. It's really where local people who like to have something to do on the weekends go and it's where kids learn it, professionals start there as kids but you won't see any competing there, they go to the big events where the money is. Rodeo is meant to mimic what cowboys do out on the range when working cattle, it just allows them to compete for money and bragging rights while doing it. Most of the riders grow up on the local ranches. Personally, I don't like rodeo because it's hard on the animals. They are typically well cared for but I still think it's hard on them in many ways, though you will not find anyone who rides who will agree with that.
Animals who do really well earn money for their owners. Like race horses the rodeo animals are well taken care as winners of trophy's and ribbons. Look up some winning rodeo bull and see what money he makes. These animals have fans and their own merch.
Hey Portuguese/American here from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Lots of Portuguese descendents live here in New England. Just subscribed.
I was born and raised in Montana, this rodeo was a small town one and not a pro rodeo, they happen all summer throughout the state. rodeos are based on actual ranch work by the cowboys and it was made into a sport. Even the roping of sheep is actual ranch work. Bronc riding is based on braking horses to ride, bull riding is…well just for fun. Rodeos are fun and yes people can get hurt but the men and women are tough and not afraid of things, ranch work is hard and dangerous, but puts food on peoples table.the children who ride want to and are protected and the parents do care about their children but don’t worry about bruises and cuts. In Montana we don’t need “safe spaces”. I understand why people react to them when they don’t understand them. In this culture you will find the most nicest and courteous people ever. Everyone is welcome and not judged.
These are families that work on farms and ranches. They are skilled, horsemen, cowboys, ranchers and they have accumulated skills or are working on them and want to show them off, compete for the love of it or win a little cash on the side. It’s just a way of life others don’t understand but they love their kids and if they were getting hurt, the authorities would put an end to it. As for the grown men, if it was all injury and no fun, they wouldn’t do it. The animals are trained to buck and so are valued, not hurt.
I am from California. I grew up on a cattle ranch here in CA and rodeoed for a large portion of my life. I'm retired now.
Many/ most rodeo events are just cowboys competing to see who can do regular ranch chores the fastest.
You need to remember that that most of these riders have been riding horses since they were old enough to walk and some even before that.
I've been to many rodeos, and I really enjoyed this video. The video did show my favorite event, mutton-bustin' (young kids riding sheep--it's really cute), my next favorite which wasn't shown are the barrel races--cowgirls racing horses around a course of barrels--it's so impressive--I love it. I'm also very impressed with team roping, it'd take too long to explain it, but the skill and teamwork involved between men and their horses is amazing. I also enjoy calf roping and bull wrestling as they require an amazing amount of skill and courage. I don't care for or enjoy bronco or bull riding. All of the previous events I mentioned were essential tasks for cowboys on the American range. The latter two were not, they were simply for machoism. I'm aware of those who have sensitivities to what they perceive the animals are experiencing, but I cannot relate to them. Animals (horses, bulls, calves, sheep) do not possess the cognitive ability to understand their being or existence--they do feel pain, there's no doubt about that, but they do not have the capacity to experience events or life as we do as people. That statement is not intended as an excuse for anyone to exhibit cruelty to any creature, but the offense is not to the creature, as the creature cannot comprehend what is happening to them, but to humanity--what type of person would do such a thing to any other living being? Rodeo animals are respected and very well cared for as historically they were the livelihood of cowboys. I can assure you, the humans involved in a rodeo are taking much greater risks and suffer a much higher rate of injury than the animals.
Rodeo is the celebration of the skills needed to put good food on our tables.
This lifestyle exists and is alive and well in California too.
I'd recommend the video from Eva where she tries her hand at being a cowgirl. She participates in a cattle drive on an actual ranch in Montana.
loved that video, she did a fantastic job learning the ropes pun intended
Montana is actually prime cowboy country. They have massive rodents there. I live in North Carolina and even we have rodeos. Although there are professional rodeo riders, they typically have short careers due to injuries. In “real” country areas, children do lots of things that outsiders think are very dangerous. By the age of 10, I could drive both a truck and a tractor. I was riding horses by myself by 7. I grew up on a small farm, but kids whose parents are in agriculture/ranching grow up quickly and there are not really any laws to protect child workers in this area. One of the high schools in my county has a “ride your tractor to school” day every year and another has a “ride your horse to school day.” Because we would visit my parents, my son was driving a tractor by around 12 (he spent a week or two with my parents every summer and he learned while I wasn’t there). I’m glad I’ve found your channel-I’m learning lots about my own country.
They tie the calves up by their feet, because the ranchers brand them with their ranches brand, so they don’t lose them to another ranch. That’s why it is part of the rodeo, to see who can do it the fastest. When I was young, rodeos were on TV on the weekends in California.
Yes, they get injured, sometimes permanently, very rarely killed (on the adult level).
Rodeo's are the some of the best entertainment money can buy. They are well choreographed and it's nonstop entertainment for 2.5 - 3 hours. In between events the clowns keep you well entertained. Yes, rural America is conservative! Idid see 2 people seriously injured when a bull flipped over in the chute.
Rodeos are fun, but it's not something most of us would go to often unless we really love it. One fun fact that not even most Americans know: some of our best cowboys have come from Hawaii. It was very important to them if they wanted access to fresh milk and beef.
Didn't Hawaii have the biggest ranch in the world? I thought I read about a legendary ranch out there
They may have larger rodeos elsewhere, but in my opinion, these smaller local rodeos, are the best one's to experience.
My high school had rodeo club as an elective, where you actually could learn to do this. Similar to joining the football team.
Bull riding actually started in Mexico. Most of the roping skills are what is required to work on a real ranch. The horse riding is to tame wild horses to ride them. I am born and raised in Texas and rodeos are quite common. Its fun and everyone has a good time.👍
As an American, the expression that the woman in the back of the concession stand made after she said "Yeah, I think they're homemade" is quite disconcerting 🤣
A couple points most rodeos are local and it's both mostly rural. the rodeo came out of the work cowboys did with cows to improve their skills and show off.It's a way of life if you live on the ranch entered raising cattle.
I've been a city boy since I was 8 years old when I moved to NYC, but I still remember growing up back in my country and being around livestock and living carefree, there was TV and video games but kids would more often than not go out with their friends and just play on the fields, explore whatever little forested area we had and just be free. You just had to be home before sunset. And if you fell or got knocked down, it was just like the old man said, you dust yourself off and get back up and continue on. If I ever get the chance I would definitely go to a rodeo, I know it would feel nostalgic and it just looks like a good time honestly.
From age 10 to 14 I was a barrel racer on my horse who was trained. My friend rode bucking bulls and horses. Fun times.
The Hat... You're 100% right, that was the perfect time and place for her to wear that hat. (As a teenager I went to a 'Cattle Call' event in rural California. It was basically a weekend long rodeo and dance). And yes, I wore a cowboy hat for the first time there. Everyone was.
In Los Angeles there are semi-rural suburbs. You will not see an American rodeo, but you can see a Mexican rodeo. You can see some aspects of an American rodeo; but, only the horse events like "pole bending" and "barrel racing" in the Los Angeles area. But there are still rodeos in California in the central and north part of the state. She does look like a typical American. If you want to see some crazy; watch professional bull riding. When they say they do it for the money...it's how they make they're living. The thing you said you didn't like so much is calf roping. It is quite a skill between you and your horse to catch a back leg of a calf, have your horse stop him in his tracks, you jump off and flip the calf to tie him into submission. This is method is used to capture your calves to brand them with your ranch symbol to signify ownership. It does not hurt the calves to be secured here at the rodeo (a great skill), but the branding does hurt on the ranch.
That's what makes American soldiers so tough. As kids, American children are allowed to take risks, have fun, and do what children have done since the beginning of time. A protected child is a weak child who will grow up to be a weak adult. Like europeans are today.
Me as an American ,that Polish Girl probably has experienced much more about The US than many Americans will ever attempt to even try ..
A lariat is a rope made from leather, to keep the circular shape. County fair is big because of competitive animal breeding.
My cousin rides and My Uncle used to ride in the Mexican Version of Rodeo, it's called a Charreada. Mexican Cowboys are called Charros. My Uncle is now part of the Charros Association in Southern California. People think it's all HOLLYWOOD here, but, We live in "The Hood" Pacoima, CA. ( Home of Danny Trejo) A suburb of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is very Mountainous. Many people don't realize how close we are to nature in Los Angeles. My house is literally 5 minutes from "The Projects" and 15 minutes from a National Forest.
My uncle went to college on a rodeo scholarship! He rode bulls and broncs, professionally. He went on to be a high school football coach. All this in Texas, of course!
She didn’t show much of what it was about. These rodeos began as an excuse for ranch hands to get together. Many ranches were miles apart. The events they do are practical ranching duties. They just turned the events to the extreme and that formed the modern professional rodeos of today.
The cow roping is a skill they have to learn as ranchers because they need to brand their cattle to keep them from being stolen or "cattle rustling". You have to rope sheep to shear them and if you break horses you better know how to ride a bucking one. The bull riding I don't know what skill relates to the ranch lifestyle but usually there are reasons for it all and if you can make money while you do it in an area where money isn't always easy to earn because of lack of jobs in countryside or weather destroys crops then you do it. My grandfather taught me barrel racing. I learned how to control a horse and have great balance at high speed and some horses I'm pretty sure like the sport themselves. Just like a lot of race horses love to race. Kids learn how to be safe around the animals, how to fall without getting hurt (although lets face it some do) how to rope, how to care for their animals in preparation for one day running a ranch themselves.
Lol. Cody Wyoming has a rodeo every night. That town is close to the East entrance of Yellowstone National Park. I was there with my family in 2017 and there was a sign saying that there was a rodeo there every night.
I'm a Californian. We have rodeos in LA and in San Diego. Love your channel.
FYI. They spend big money on those animals, so the goal is to not hurt them.
The big rodeos are cool, but the small town ones are more fun. Her reaction to the bull riding was so cute. The bulls are so fun. Also, they aren’t kids, they’re young adults.
Every small town in the USA has rodeo stuff.
The largest Rodeo in the US is the one in San Antonio during February. It’s the best plus you’re in a big city.
We Americans in the Western States are built differently. I have been to a few rodeo's myself. Always some injuries. But they are back next year again.
Most people in blue collar jobs get hurt more than those animals, same with the cowboys and girls
Can definitely understand the optics of it, especially first impression
Most country people appcet you for who you are in the rodeo came from them breaking the horses back in the day back in the I had a buddy that used to ride bulls and he loved it
I grew up a half hour from Polson, Montana in Woods Bay on Flathead Lake.
If you want to see the majesty of America's wilderness and experience "Western" culture Montana and Wyoming are about as close as it gets.
I know you love our national parks. Glacier has lakes at such high altitude that nothing can live there, not even algae. You can see the bottom, in detail, of a 100 feet deep lake. You can take photos of people swimming on the surface that look like they're floating in mid-air.
Western Montana and northern Idaho are covered in waterways paved with tumbled red, green, and blue river rocks with pools that look like aquariums.
I've been all over the world, and seen astonishing things, but nowhere compares to the almost untouched nature of home.
A prized bucking bull or horse can be worth $50-100,000. Most contractors have breeding programs to save $. You'd be crazy to mistreat or abuse your animals, they're star athletes
I grew up in a town that had a Rodeo , called a Round Up because the local cattleman rounded up the cattle. This came around the first week in September. The Round Up included all these things and more. We have Indian horse races where the horses are basically ridden bareback I. The race. Then there is Wild Cow milking where fovr or five cows with their suckling calves are shooed into the arena. A cowboy on a horse ropes the cow and holds it while contestants (sometimes the Mayor,Sheriffs of the local areas and others try get this wild cow off the range to stand still so they can milk her. At a set time they have to run back to the center of the arena and the most milk (usually a couple of ounces or less). To Win!
Love the bulll riding. It is indeed dangerous, but only to the cowboy.
Rodeos are usually held in the mid-west states down to Texas. It’s a circuit for the rodeos. A lot of the cowboys and cowgirls scores are totaled and the winners for events are judged at each rodeo and then at the last rodeo. Cowboys and cowgirls decide which rodeos they will compete in. The more they compete, then the bigger their winnings are. And don’t worry, animals are not hurt. Just pay attention to the skills of the cow guys and gals. They are so much fun.
I was tempted to say that you should go to a large stationary fancy rodeo, but sometimes these little rural ones are more fun.
The rodeo events are mostly what these people do in their everyday life for ranchers. Ranchers have to break wild horses to be able to ride them (possibly not as they had to before the automobile). Calves needed to branded with the owners mark. Now they mostly use a tag but they did not always have this technology. What you are seeing was part of everyday life for ranchers. They have embraced and kept alive part of the our country’s history.
23:53 I love trick riding. I wish there had been more in this video
I live in Wisconsin. I've never been to a rodeo, but I would love to. This is kind of our own culture. I never worry about the animals, they are treated better than humans.
I do know that she was right not to wear the hat. Hers was very touristy. "Cowboy" hats are very functional and high quality to fight the intense sun
I know it's really hard for people who've lived in the city their whole life to understand a lot of stuff that goes on in a rodeo, but it's not just entertainment for those of us who live in the country, but a show of your skills that are typically used in ranching. Life as a rancher is a pretty ruff and dangerous job and takes a lot of riding and roping skill.
There is a PBR Rodeo coming to the New York State capital in Albany N.Y. at MVP Arena
Just about every county seat west of the Mississippi River have amateur rodeos in the county fairgrounds every year. Professional rodeos and bull riding events occur in every fairly large city once a year. Houston’s Pro Rodeo takes place in a domed American football stadium with 70,000 fans each night over two weekends. Fort Worth has amateur rodeos every weekend, and Pro Rodeo one weekend, Pro Bull Riding anther weekend, and Pro Quarter Horse Cutting event a third weekend every year.
Slim Pickens, the B52 pilot in the movie Dr. Strangelove was a rodeo clown and movie stuntman before getting speaking roles, and Ben Johnson, co star in many John Wayne movies won the world championship in cattle roping once.
A lot of john Wayne's movies where shot in Southern California. I stayed in the hotel he used to stay in. Planters Hotel in Brawley California. They have pictures, and all kinds of things from him on there walls.
Texans have been riding Bulls for hundreds of years and before there was a Texas. Growing up on a farm, with dairy. We rode the non-milkers. The most fun was saddle-breaking different types of ponies. Mean critters.
The cows are literally made of leather. It looks rough, but think about a dog or cat with it's young, very rough by force. The cows are so much bigger and stronger than a dog/puppy. The movie City Slickers (1991) would give a good idea, and it's just a funny good movie. :) Look forward to more, take care!
When they brand they're cattle they do it when the animals are young. They hog tie them to brand so nobody can say is my cow. Many of these events are ranch related. To tame a horse you must ride a bucking horse so it's useful
Those guys are talented! Our girls do that. Our girls are that brave..
The dirt is very fluffy. And rodeos were invented as competitions for cowboys to show off their skills.
I'm late to the video, but if you happen to read this. I live in a small western town with annual rodeos. When I was little, I was sad for the calfs being roped because I thought they were mean to it. I discovered it's origins, when my family went to my uncles ranch to help brand his calfs. The roping is to catch them in the field. Tying the legs, hold the calf in place to brand. Also, when you see how strong and full of muscle they are, it's very unlikely that they get hurt. Thanks.
Remember this anytime you hear someone saying Americans are soft. This is what many of us grow up doing.
The kids ride different animals based on their ages. By the time they are up to riding bulls they are teenagers, and the bulls are less nasty than the ones that the adults have to ride.
Rodeo is the official sport of the State of South Dakota.
Many years ago, the western states used cowboys to heard animals, and the skills they developed are tested in rodio events. Today, there are few real cowboys left, but the culture keeps the spirit alive, and young people train for rodios as others would train for other sporting events. I grew up on the east coast, and we would see rodios once in a while. But the western states such as Texas, Montana and Wyoming have rodio events all the time. It is easy to get hurt being in a rodio.
There's more real cowboys left than you may think. I grew up North of this video in Alberta. But now roundups are a combination of horses, quads and side-by-sides. Horseback is still the best way to quietly work cattle, treat calves etc
I actually have a relative who used to be a bull rider. And there is a rodeo arena in the town here. There are several rodeos events every summer in this state. And this is not in Texas.
Rodeo is based on jobs needed to be done to care for cattle (before they developed mechanical ways to do it). Most of the kids have been caring for animals all of their lives. You don't become a rodeo cowboy by deciding when you turn 21 to get on a bull or bucking bronc. This is these kids training ground.
Many county and state fairs have rodeos. I was also stationed in Montana with the Air Force and it can be beautiful but can get very cold and is very sparsely populated.
Rodeo is more of a thing in rural areas rather than big cities, but it's not impossible that there could be a Professional Bull Riding tour stop in someplace like Los Angeles.
I love going to the Rodeo!!! I wish though I could ride a Bull, but I'll stick to riding a machine bull riding.
New Hampshire has rodeo when The Fair comes around in FALL OR SUMMER
A lot of events are actually part of a cowboy’s normal work. Bronco busting always happens when you are turning a wild horse tame. Horses don’t want people on their backs so being wild they will try to throw you off. Eventually they will calm down and become rideable. Calf roping was always done to immobilize the animal so it can be branded. Roping and all kinds of skills are represented at a rodeo. It is not for the faint of heart though, as there can be injuries to humans and animals alike. I believe something like 29 bull riders have been killed since the late 1980’s. The work’s largest outdoor rodeo is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, attracting about one and one half million people from all over the world.
We do Gymkhana on horseback. My wife and I spent three yrs traveling the country and seeing it on the backs of our horses. We would ride our horses about 3,000 miles a year.
Hayward Wisconsin has an amazing rodeo every year
I live in the woods. Id rather ride my 4 wheeler or tractor than a bull. I got a shotgun or 2, a riffle or 2, and a 4 wheel drive. And we can survive. I used to go camping with a side arm, fishing rod, pot, and a sleeping bag. Nothing more needed. Now, my wife and i go, and dont take much more. But, she likes s'mores, so the chocolate is required.
The last rodeo I went to was back in the 90s probably and it was about $20 so you were actually pretty spot on
Not only young teen boys but also young teen girls ride the bucking ponies you saw in thevideo. Also, for the record there are a few women who compete in professional bull riding but they only ride bulls up to 1,500 pounds. There are both high school ages 15-18) and a junior high school (ages 12-14) national rodeo associations with competitions ending in national championship events. Barrel racers and trick riders are female.
Vegan vs. Vegetarian = Anoying vs. Very Anoying......just kidding.

This is their way of life on a working ranch.
Eva only looked out of place because she was walking around with a selfie stick.
"A school for this..." - Probably, but a lot of that is skills used and needed when out pushing a heard, the riding and roping anyways, not so much the bulk riding. That was probably started by two drunk cowboys, and one bet the other that they could ride that bull there.... LOL But the riding fast, roping, jumping off the horse to tie the calf up, are actual skills used when driving a heard. I've rode a lot of horses and even an Ostrich, but never a bull. Call me whatever you want, The thing has balls the size of my head. He wins, I'll just forfeit.
