Ride 'em cowboy!

That hurt.

At 16-18 they can take the falls. Most retire by 20 and get a real job. It was interesting getting to know the ins and outs of the rodeo. Those bulls work only a few seconds a month and get better healthcare and groceries than a lot of humans working manual labor jobs. I was amazed at how tame a lot of the bulls were when standing at the feed bunk waiting on grub.

It's hard to stay seated on a ton of muscle and bone with maneuvers like this one has.

Yes, I knew the rodeo stock gets taken care of really well. We're into rodeos here in Utah, especially here in our town Spanish Fork. I've been to a few. Sadly, back in the 80's while watching the Bronc riding, a young man was thrown..he just laid there and twitched. Out came the Ambulance. Never heard what happened to him. If they make it to 20 years of age without any broken bones, that's great.

They like drawing a bull that gives great points.

Rodeo is the most dangerous of all sports. I'm more inclined to go fishing.
