Sitting around a campfire or riding a horse through the desert are just two thoughts that immediately come to mind with most people, but cowboys do much more than that. Bull riding has long been a tradition with cowboys everywhere, and has gotten so popular that the sport has its own organizations devoted to showing the world just how brave and strong cowboys really are.
