Competitive rodeo requires a certain type of person. You must be brave, have a death wish and an affinity for danger, oh, and be an adrenaline junkie. Yes, there are other personal traits that you probably need, and it helps to have a conflicting personality when it comes to animals. In fact, being an animal helps too, or so the joke goes. With that famous bumper sticker; “Save a horse, ride a cowgirl.” Now, I’d like to talk a bit about the grueling hours of practice that you must put in to be a competitive rodeo rider, because your skills don’t come overnight, and they don’t come without headaches and headaches. .

Also, you better have a good health care program or be on the ObamaCare A list. Very rarely do competitive rodeo jockeys’ earnings outweigh medical bills. You have to do it for the love of it, because you are a little crazy and because you want to prove something. Too many in the crowd will show you that you are insane, and show others that you have superhuman, magical strength and agility. You will show yourself that you are tough enough to live one more day at least.

Now about that workout, you’re going to need some decent music to listen to, but it’s almost impossible to wear headphones when riding an animal. Second, you need to hear and feel the animal, and it is difficult to do so with loud music. However, music helps in the heat of battle, and the louder the music, the better. Some rodeo riders listen to heavy metal, hard rock, and techno-rock. Many believe they listen to things like Garth Brooks and other country music. Now, you probably hear that, but only when you’re trying to calm down after an adrenaline rush.

Chances are, if you are reading this article you are not cut out for the rodeo, certainly not for the competitive rodeo. A lot of competitive rodeo riders won’t bother to go online and read endless bargains about their sport, they’re too busy doing it, they’re really bad ass, real men, not fag readers. Does that mean I want you to stop reading this article? No, you’ve reached the end, why don’t you go out and ride something and ride it like a man? Talk is cheap. That is all for now.
