rodeo

A rodeo is a competitive event that showcases skills traditionally associated with cattle herding and ranch work, such as riding horses and managing cattle. It features various timed and judged competitions like bull riding, bronc riding, roping, and steer wrestling. Participants, often trained cowboys and cowgirls, demonstrate their agility, strength, and technique. Rodeos also celebrate Western culture and heritage, often including entertainment like clowns and parades. They serve as both sport and tradition, drawing communities together and promoting the skills and values of the ranching lifestyle.
