What is everything u need to start riding bulls and how much does it all cost

Asked by john about 11 years ago

Boots, jeans, hat... and you can usually borrow/buy a rope, vest, spurs at your first clinic.  

Clinics range from $250 - $750 or more.

Okay so I am a girl, and Its my dream to be a professional bull rider. Do you think that's out of the question for me?

Asked by Miranda almost 12 years ago

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

What is the style of chaps called that reach all the way around your thigh? That is the style I wanted when I ordered my last pair and when I told the company my thigh measurment they still didn't reach all the way around my thigh.

Asked by blake almost 12 years ago

It's a batwing rodeo chap. It should go most of the way and cinch up with the strap. I'd have to see it...

Im doing a project in agriculture, I need reasons why, and why not we should have Bull Riding
Thank you

Asked by Savanna Bowman about 12 years ago

Simple, Bull Riding is awesome.

First, Bull Riding is a part of the Rodeo Industry, and together, they are a great re-connect with our history and nostalgia of the development of our Country.  As the world moves away from an agricultural-based society into an urbanized living space, events like Bull Riding allow a re-introduction to our agricultural roots, and celebrate the skills developed in our past that are still practiced today.

Bull Riding is a multi-billion dollar industry, based on the spectator tickets, sponsorship sales, television rights and advertising, equipment, training, livestock breeding and raising, transport, and more.  Regardless of level, albeat a BFTS PBR in Las Vegas or an open bull riding in Podunk, USA, an event like Bull Riding generates large local economic impact from hotel rooms, travel, food, tertiary entertainment and more.  In some cities, the economic impact stems into the millions from a one-weekend event.

There is much research and development that goes into the breeding of bucking bulls, and with inveatro and dna testing and analysis, scientists are learning more about the breeding of species from the results of the tried-and-tested breeding programs of bull riding livestock.  

Lastly, in these times, people need to escape their lives for a few hours at a time and enjoy good core-value, family friendly entertainment for a reasonable price, and Bull Riding definitely delivers that in spades.

is it weird that i hold my bull rope with my left hand? because all of the high school riders hold it with their right hand.

Asked by brett almost 12 years ago

no, it's not weird.  I ride left as well.  We're of the minority, but we still rawk them.

I'm thinking about calling in for my first bull riding when you call in what do they ask you and when do you pay the entry fee on the phone or when you get to the rodeo

Asked by Tim almost 12 years ago

It really depends on the sanctioning. Most times you need to pay at the event at the lower levels, and you usually need a member to enter you, unless you're a local. All of the entry info should be with the event info (#, etc.)

good luck!

im 18 about to turn 19, i always wanted to bull ride buti have no schoolsa round my area to allow me to learn what do i do?

Asked by Ghost about 12 years ago

You could try to find some riders close to you and travel with them to an event or two.  You could borrow equipment and try to ride a mount-out or exhibition, but I'd recommend finding a school somewhere and travelling to it.  There's no better way to learn, in my opinion.
