I have seen so many I have lost count! The PBR is pure bull riding and does not have the other entries such as Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronx, Steer Wrestling, etc. My son is a Professional Rodeo Announcer and does a lot of the Pro Rodeo productions. He is in IL this weekend at some Pro Rodeo Announcing. He was the Bullfighter of the Year two years ago and was awarded the title at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie. Ok. I sleep better now knowing he is announcing and not fighting bulls! God watched over him for many years but he does have the scars!

There is usually only one clown at the rodeo. One of our best friends is Dusty Myers from MS and he was the National Finals Clown-Barrelman of the year this year and worked the World Championships in Las Vegas. The clowns job is to fill in the gaps between events to keep the crowd entertained and help the production move along. The other “clowns” are the Bullfighters. There job is to distract the Bull so the rider can get away once the ride is over. When a rider gets hung up on a Bull my heart stops. That is where the bullfighters really earn their paychecks. It’s a heck of a way to make a living as both rider and bullfighter. The Adrenalin rush these folks have is at another level. These are the men of the sporting world!


I can't stand a thief.
