Competitive rodeo is a sport that showcases the skills of cowboys and cowgirls in various events. Participants compete in activities such as bull riding, barrel racing, and team roping, demonstrating their abilities in handling livestock and riding horses. Rodeos often take place at fairs and festivals, attracting large crowds who enjoy the excitement and tradition of the sport. Rodeo events are typically divided into two categories: roughstock events, which include riding bucking animals like bulls and broncos, and timed events, where competitors aim to complete tasks as quickly as possible. Each event is judged based on specific criteria, and participants earn points or prizes based on their performance.
