Bull Riding

Bull riding is one of the most recognizable rodeo events, involving a competitor attempting to remain mounted on a bucking bull for eight seconds while the animal twists, kicks, and surges around the arena. This event turns an animal’s attempts to escape or dislodge a rider into a form of entertainment. Their extreme bucking behaviour is caused by a tight flank strap positioned near their groin. Bulls can experience significant stress during this event and risk potentially life-threatening injuries.
