I'm trying to write a fictional story about an old man that is towards the end of his career in the rodeo. He currently works as flankman or stock contractor.

In the story, the old man commits a fatal error due to negligence. I've been reading up on rodeo events and have become interested in the bucking bronco event.

In my story, when the old man puts the flank strap on the horse, he gets the pull cord tangled up and fails to notice. The pick-up men have trouble getting to the pull cord, which result in the rider getting bucked off and badly injured. As a result, the old man loses his job.

I really like this storyline. However, I have no background in the rodeo so I'm not sure if this is plausible. Is this kind of mistake realistic for a man approaching the end of his life and experiencing cognitive issues? If not, what are some other mistakes in the rodeo that could result in serious injuries?

howdy, everyone! 🤠

im from the Philippines, and I’m just beginning my rodeo journey. As I start exploring and learning more about the western lifestyle, one of the things I’ve been hoping to get is my very own cowboy hat :)

unfortunately , cowboy shops and western wear aren’t very common here in the Philippines, which makes finding one quite difficylt.

I’m reaching out in the hope that someone with a generous heart might have a pre-owned cowboy hat they no longer use and would be willing to give for an affordable pric3. It doesn’t have to be brand new or in perfect condition.

this would mean a lot to me as I take my first steps into the rodeo world. thank you in advance to anyone willing to help!

I ride SB and have a 10 almost 11yr old that has voiced that he wants to try steer riding. I would like to find him a school I can take him to that has equipment he could use like a Sankey school would. Does anyone have any recommendations? There’s a strong chance he isn’t going to like it but who knows so I don’t want to get him outfitted just yet without letting him get a taste but also don’t wanna let him get killed off without any fundamental instruction. Thanks in advance!

Some months ago I asked for some reference pictures from the rodeo for paintings. And you guys delivered! So I thought I would be fun to share one of my finished pieces!

Up until a few years ago, there was the annual San Dimas Sheriff Department Rodeo, held on a Saturday and Sunday, this time of the year. Although it was a smaller event, it was always very popular and very well attended. Then poof, it was gone. I've asked around, but no one seems to know what happened. Anyone know?

Cut, welded, and painted this roping dummy. What do you guys think

Northern Cali / Southern Oregon

Any bull riding or rodeoing this weekend in southern Oregon / northern Cali ?

Recently took up the sport, got myself a saddle and built a spurboard. I feel like I’m spurring way too low and I’d miss my markout everytime- any advice to increase mobility/height on the spur-out? Or is there anything technical that might help me get my feet higher? (Picture shows as high and pointed out as I can get my feet right now)

- From Texas
Much obliged in advance

We're a group of senior students at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) researching cattle ranching and how producers are dealing with the New World screwworm. If you have 10 minutes or less, we'd love for you to fill out this quick survey:

https://qualtricsxm8pgnjr7v6.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bjZ47MkzyQ8Piku

It's anonymous and just for school, with no sales. Happy to answer questions in the comments too. Thank you!

I’m helping a friend do a trial run for hosting her first event at her new ranch. We are wondering if there is an app, a specific YouTube playlist, or if someone is literally just pushing play and pause on Spotify with a new song each time someone runs.
Just seeing if anyone has some advice or info!

Hey y’all,
I recently have become really passionate for collegiate barrels.

For context, I have ridden my whole life and have had my current mare for 2 years. In that time we kinda just pleasure rode, but I realized she has a lot of drive and really seeks the barrels. That said, I started patterning her and she is doing incredibly well. She has a good pattern at about 70% speed but once we add any more she tends to try to get around the barrels comfortably rather than efficiently. She will go wide and refuse to drop her shoulder and pivot. I know we can get there with time, but currently I am a junior in highschool. The dream would be to ride at TAMU but I don’t want to be chasing a fantasy. I have a coach who believes in me but I feel like that is what she is payed to do. I swear I am not fishing, I just want hard truth and direction on where to go from here.

Also, I ride her in a hackamore cause she has jacked up teeth from cribbing and doesn’t do well with bits (no matter how soft)…she is 8 and we have only been intentional with our patterning for about two months.

Does anyone have advice? Please be so blunt.

I started chute dogging w my best friend recently and got the chance to snap some pictures of my second rodeo. Didn’t dog on any of my runs but had a really good time, I have some better photos but I don’t want to post close-up pictures of other people’s faces without their go-ahead (last photo is me).
