Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?
I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.
Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.
I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.
You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor.
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morning/Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by/They'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies.
So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill.
I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.
You hope your buddies will win so you don't have to loan them any money.
I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.
You'll probably get three horses and you have to draw a good buckin' horse. That's mighty tough.
If you're lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones. So It's probably 80 percent luck and 20 percent skill.
I'm healed up and I feel great. After going through the fire, it's great to be out performing again.
The breeding programs for the bulls have improved significantly. The bulls are at a much higher caliber.
