This person is tasked with distracting a bull after it has bucked off a rider, thus protecting the rider while he makes his getaway (or in some instances is carried away). Bullfighters are often comically dressing as clowns or hobos, but make no mistake! They are very athletic and fit.
The purveyors of horses, bulls, steers and calves used in roughstock and roping events and subsequently sent to slaughter.
A horse who has not been tamed. This term is usually used to refer to horses in a bucking horse event.
Metal implements that are affixed to a rider’s boot heels and used to goad animals forward or into bucking.
A bull rider must maintain a free hand throughout his ride. It cannot touch the rope or the animal, or the rider will be disqualified.
If a bucking bull or bronco rider is unable to disengage his hand from the handle or rope before dismounting or being thrown, he is said to be hung up.
When riding a bucking bronco, the cowboy’s feet have to be higher than the horse’s shoulders at the time that the horse’s front feet make contact with the ground. If this is the case, it is called a “mark out”. If the cowboy’s feet are below the horse’s shoulders at this point, it is called a “miss out”.
In roughstock events, if the rider is unable to remain seated for eight seconds, he gets no score. This term is also used if a roper misses the steer or calf.
If the bucking bronco or bull cannot be goaded into bucking, the cowboy will be given the opportunity to do a re-ride on a different animal.
Bull Fighter – The primary job of the bull fighter is to protect a fallen rider from the bull by distracting it and providing an alternative target for the bull to attack. Bull Rope – Bull riders wrap a flat rope with a bell attached to it around a bull’s body behind the front legs.
