Animal Mounted Shooting Is A Event

It’s also my favorite sport in rodeo. There are two judges who give 1-25 to the cowboys\cowgirls performance and 1-25 to the animal’s performance, 100 points being the highest all together would also be counted as a perfect ride. To ride the cowboys, use a bull rope and a rosin. The bull rope is a thickly braided rope with a cowbell attached to the end. The cowbell is used for like a weight so the rope can safely fall off after the ride is over. But bull riding has taken a professional turn towards the bright and shows no sign of slowing

There are some rules in barrel racing. Number one is the fastest time wins. The rider and horse aren’t judged on anything but that. If the rider and horse run past a barrel and get out of the pattern, they get a “no time” score or they get disqualified. If the racer or her horse knocks a barrel over, they get a five second penalty which normally gives them a time that is to slow to win or place. There is a sixty second time limit to complete the course. The barrels have to be fifty five gallons, they have to be metal, and they have to be at least two colors. Most competitions also require the rider to wear a long sleeve western shirt that is tucked in, western cut pants or jeans, a western hat, and western boots. The contestant has to be dressed like this one hour before the event.

Rodeo is popular throughout the United States and is the official state sport for South Dakota, Wyoming, Texas, and Idaho. People think we are just entertaining the people and think the animals are physically provoked to make the cowboys look more impressive (Nielsen 1). Really that isn’t true its really how good of a hand you are and how well and experienced you are riding an animal. Some people make their horses hard in the mouth pulling back to much and that isn’t a good hand on a horse. A good hand on a horse has their horses mouth super light so with a little touch of the foot and rein your horse will turn a complete circle without pulling hard.

The word cowboy brings to mind images of the old west, mostly movies. Ten gallon hats, boots, spurs, horses, revolvers and of course cows. In todays society the term cowboy or cowgirl isn’t always a favorable one. It can mean ignorant, country, reckless, or just refer to boots and hats. Are Cowboys even still around? Not the “wanna be” hat on the weekend’s type of person, the genuine article. The answer may surprise you. In today’s modern world, cowboys aren’t just still around; they have developed into the subculture in which I belong. The cowboy subculture can be found all across the United States and Hawaii. What is the Cowboy Culture and who belongs in it?

According to society, Equestrians are jockeys that race around a track. But to anyone who’s actually ridden or has a passion for horses, you know that there are two distinctive styles of riding - English and Western. There are both similarities and differences between the two types of riding. Regardless of the style of riding people participate in or favor, each world of riding opens up various activities for the rider to enjoy.

The story, “Shooting an Elephant”, is very descriptive and intriguing. George Orwell, the author, uses small words throughout this story that get the audience’s attention. He even has different lines that readers remember when the title is spoken of. Because he is so thorough in the plot taking place, the audience has an opportunity to feel as if they were there and saw everything that has happened. George Orwell’s stylistic choices related to pace, tone, and character development enable him to be successful.

The Quarter horse breed is also very well known for their competing in rodeos. There are many different events in the rodeo itself that they are involved in. These events include: bareback and saddle bronc riding, team roping, tie down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and bull riding (outriders). In the bareback and saddle bronc riding these horses are used for bucking purposes. For bareback bronc riding they put a strap around the horses flank and then a rider gets on them and tries to ride the horse for eight seconds. In saddle bronc riding there is also a strap that goes around the horses flank, but the difference is that there is a saddle that is put on them for the rider to sit in. in the team roping event there are two riders each with a horse and they try to rope a steer using the horses. On rider with their horse attempts to rope the steers head while the other

Fans can “get their plaid on” too. The winner isn’t the only one who gets to sport plaid. Spectators are also encouraged to do so, especially on Plaid Nation Day which is typically on Saturday. It’s a fun day when fans celebrate by competing for swag and other prizes.

In the early 1820s the first Anglo-American settlers moved into Texas. As these settlers moved from East Texas to Central Texas to West Texas and other settlers moved to these areas from South Texas, a blending of the Anglo and Spanish-Mexican cultures occurred. With the Spanish-Mexican knowledge of riding, roping, herding, and branding available, events occurred that culminated in the Southwest cattle industry. The abundance of wild cattle and horses and an Eastern market for beef after the Civil War led to cattle drives to the railheads, which made ranching a profitable business for people such as John S. Chisum, Oliver Loving, and Charles Goodnight. The adventure and independence of herding cattle to market or working on the open range caught the imagination of many young men seeking jobs. They bought saddles and signed on with an outfit. The range cowboy and the cattle industry flourished in the Southwest, especially in West Texas and the Panhandle of Texas, with the establishment of large ranches such as the JA, XIT, Waggoner, Four Sixes, and Pitchfork, along with many smaller ranches. However, with the fencing of the open range in the late 1880s, the cattle industry changed to a more confining job for the range cowboy. When communities sprang up, social occasions, especially Fourth of July celebrations, gave cowboys a chance to challenge the bronc riding and roping skills of cowboys from other ranches. Soon, local contests became annual events. Since the cowboy's work was often seasonal, some cowboys also signed up to exhibit their skills with wild-west shows such as the first one William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) staged in his home town of North Platte, Nebraska, on the Fourth of July, 1882. Wild-west shows led exhibitions of rodeo skills in the East and eventually in Europe. By the 1890s rodeo had become a spectator event

The men wore long, fringed buckskin shirts, leggings, belts, and several different types of moccasins. The women wore long buckskin dresses with a belt which they decorated with elk teeth, beads made from shell or bone, porcupine quills and vegetable dyes, with knee-length moccasins.

This picture depicts a rodeo taking place, the cowboys and their horses are competing. Around the arena we can see families gathered to watch this sport take place. The cowboys are wearing their traditional attire which includes button up shirts, jeans and chaps and spurs. The horses wear saddles to provide rider more comfort and stability.

In a campaign called “My culture is not a costume”, people from different ethnicities denunciate the use of their traditional clothing as a Halloween costume. For example, aboriginal complained that non-aboriginal wore loincloth and feathers. First Nation wears those kinds of outfits during Pow Wow. Pow Wow is an important celebration for Natives and understanding their origin is important.

Cowboy culture is not forgotten. At the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in December Stetson is also represented. Where ever there 's a major competition, from the Calgary Stampede to the Pendleton Round-Up, Stetson is there. It 's all to maintain support among what Kajimoto calls "core Western culture," the rural, ranching families who still drive some of Stetson 's business. (Bhasin, 2015)

I do believe Micheal being involved in the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act was designed to be apart of a restorative justice process. The amount of jail time given to Micheal was definitely less than the what an average person would receive for those types of animal cruelty charges. However, since he had been a successful athlete before hand, he received some special treatment. His time spent in jail was a way for the world to see that he has done a crime, paid the consequences and will now make amends. As a athlete he has the access to display his changed behavior in a bigger way and with more opportunity to do so. Using his platform to the fullest to make the world accept him again could be apart of a restorative justice process.
