Have you ever heard of rodeo? I’m sure you have but did you know that it’s a mixture of many events such as Barrel Racing, Bull Riding, and many, many more. In the text below I will be walking you through who invented rodeo and a couple of events in rodeo.

Horses running, bulls bucking, and flame throwing are all thing that you could see at a rodeo. When I was in the fifth grade I went to a rodeo with my girl scout troup . We saved up for almost a whole year. We sold cookies, earned money, and waited for the exciting weekend trip to A.J Ranch.

The events varied greatly from rodeo to rodeo. The world’s oldest rodeo was in Prescott, Arizona and held its first competition on July 4th, 1888. Later rodeos began branching off of the first Prescott competition. This rodeo established prizes awards, rules for competition, admission charged, cowboys invited to complete, and a committee to organize. The events include bronc riding, steer roping, and cow pony races. The first “rodeo” was called a “Cowboy Tournament” and was added to the 4th of July activities(Freeman, Danny). They added these to encourage more people to come to town and spend money at the merchants and enjoy the festivities. Many towns today hold a rodeo at their local arena on the 4th of July. It is a very popular date to hold an event. Patriotism attracts people from all over the state to attend these rodeos held on special holidays.The Prescott Rodeo was a great success and the contestants and spectators were thrilled with the entire

When a calf was sick or injured, it had to be caught and immobilized quickly for treatment. Ranch hands prided themselves on how fast they could rope and tie calves. Soon roping and tying calves became a contestant sport in Rodeo. Still today we rope and doctor (Rodeo 1). Soon steer wrestling also known as “bulldogging” came to rodeo. That started from after roping to doctor things some had to hold the animal down while someone gave it a shot. Now you don't rope in bulldogging you jump onto your steer while running full speed. Lots of people ride American QH’s that are specially trained to do this event (Rodeo

Bull riding has a long rich history, it can be traced back all the way to the early 1800’s. Cowboys would get together and have contests in things they normally do on a ranch like roping and trying to break horses, but you didn’t have to get on the back of a

To the excitement of the TBAAL Founder and President Curtis King, the festival is finally coming to life after being in the works for 15 years. Six years ago King sought to get the festival started, but unfortunately funds were limited. Now with the help from sponsors, the festival will convene over the course of three days from Sept. 1-3 at Texas Horse Park.

The sport of Rodeo has been a tradition in the United States since the cowboys of the American West began pushing herds of cattle across this country. Often, there was very little to do besides hard work with the cattle and horses, so the cowhands would often get together and compete with each other in the skills that they practiced every day on their jobs in order to relieve boredom. The first competitions in rodeo consisted mainly of riding bucking horses and roping steers, cows and calves, because this was what their work consisted of. Each ranch would send their best cowboys they had. The cowboys were competing only for the honor of their ranches they worked for, and their bosses who owned those

You may have heard that “everything is bigger in Texas.” and if you really want to experience how everything is bigger, you go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR). The HLSR, or “Houston Rodeo” as it is referred to by Houstonians, is the largest event of its kind in the world and has been in session since 1932. In 2013, The HLSR had more people in attendance (approx 2.6 million) at the Rodeo than the entire population of the city of Houston (approx 2.1 million), which happens to be the 4th largest city in the United States as well as the most populated city in the state of Texas. The HLSR is held at Reliant Park for three weeks during March, and since parking is always a hassle, Reliant Park also happens to have one of the largest parking lots available as well.

The rodeo will run April 28 through April 30 with slack runs scheduled for Thursday April 28 at 7:30 p.m. and performances Friday and Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m.

For the cowboy and cowgirl at heart, it's almost time for the California Rodeo Salinas. It's the 106th year of this exciting rodeo, which has been a tradition in Salinas for years. The rodeo brings great competition and exciting events to the city, but it also provides scholarships and aid to local non-profits.

Rodeo is usually considered to be associated with southern sports and not really publicized as some of the other major collegiate sports.

In October, around the 31st. My dad (Ben) and Natalie load up a trailer full of cows and tack, and heads on the road out to the All-American, which is in Louisville Kentucky. My family and I are going to the All-American because we have the animals that we believe are good enough to go to the All-American and do VERY well!
