Rodeo clowns are performers who work at rodeos to entertain the audience and protect cowboys during events. They wear colorful costumes and makeup, often resembling circus clowns, to grab attention. Their primary role is to distract bulls and other animals after a rider has fallen, ensuring the safety of the cowboy. In addition to their protective duties, rodeo clowns also engage the crowd with humor and antics. They may perform skits, dance, or interact with spectators, adding excitement to the rodeo experience. Their skills are essential for both safety and entertainment in the world of rodeo events.
