Pro Rodeo –  Bull Riding Photos
As any rodeo lover will know, bull riding is perhaps the most popular of all rodeo events. Most rodeo websites and magazines have Bull Riding photos. This is testament to the popularity of this sport. It is also one of the most dangerous events. Very few bull riders have completed this sport without getting hurt. It is similar to bareback riding and saddle bronc riding in the fact that riders can only use one hand.
The main priority of the bull rider is to stay on the bull for at least 8 seconds. Courage, coordination, flexibility and balance are required in order to complete this event without sustaining many injuries. Most pictures can be quite scary, since the bulls used in this event weigh in excess of 2000 pounds. Pictures from the Professional Bull Riders tour are readily available on the internet. Bull riding is definitely one of the most popular rodeo events.   (2/10/2012)
Pro Rodeo Bull Riding is an event in rodeo where a cowboy mounts a bull inside of a chute. The bull is released from the chute and will buck and/or spin to attempt to get the rider off. The cowboy can only use one hand to hold on, the other hand must remain in air and if it touches the bull or ground the score is not counted. The rider must stay on for a full 8 seconds. (9/23/2011)

I grew up on a Midwest farm with dirt under my fingernails and the sound of wind rustling through cornfields. My childhood was all about 4H – raising pigs and horses, learning to bake and sew, and discovering the magic of transforming a garden into jars of summer sunshine. Those years taught me the value of hard work, the thrill of seeing a project through to the end, and the simple joy of creating something beautiful. A country girl with a need for speed and a thirst for adventure. Maybe that's why I love the feeling of wind in my hair – whether I'm cruising down a dusty road on my Harley or tackling a mountain trail on my trusty mountain bike. Some of my earliest memories of rodeo are watching my father compete at small local events. That's also where my love for country music comes in – long car rides listening to 8 tracks. The lyrics and melodies always spoke to my soul. These days, you'll find me cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls at rodeos, two-stepping to my favorite bands, belting out a country tune at a concert or sharing stories and laughter with friends around a bonfire. When I'm not soaking up the country life and getting my boots dirty, I'm a nurse, caring for folks in my community. Follow along for more stories from the heart of rodeo and country life!
