What is the style of chaps called that reach all the way around your thigh? That is the style I wanted when I ordered my last pair and when I told the company my thigh measurment they still didn't reach all the way around my thigh.

It's a batwing rodeo chap. It should go most of the way and cinch up with the strap. I'd have to see it...

Okay so I am a girl, and Its my dream to be a professional bull rider. Do you think that's out of the question for me?

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

im 18 about to turn 19, i always wanted to bull ride buti have no schoolsa round my area to allow me to learn what do i do?

Asked by Ghost almost 12 years ago

You could try to find some riders close to you and travel with them to an event or two.  You could borrow equipment and try to ride a mount-out or exhibition, but I'd recommend finding a school somewhere and travelling to it.  There's no better way to learn, in my opinion.

if the bull doesn't get riden then how much money does the owner get paid?

Asked by kyle about 12 years ago

Predominantly, Bull Contractors are simply paid by the gate. They want to raise the best buckers, because the better they do, the more events they get invited to, and then get 3-4 times as much if they are selected for the Finals. As Bull Riders either do the selection or influence the selection, every "out" is a scouting day. Sometimes there will be bonuses, but those are special events or opportunities.

Asked by kris almost 12 years ago

Sounds like you're set!  As I've said earlier in my answers, I would recommend attending a rodeo clinic/school to get introduced to the sport. Good luck!

Are bull's horns cut for safety because of and directly after Lane Frost's fatal ride? Takin' Care of Business' horns appear to be quite a bit larger in a video on you tube. Also, are helmets & vests a personal investment due to Bodacious? THANKS!

Asked by wondering over 11 years ago

Tipping horns pre-dates that fateful day, it is predominantly due to the territorial nature of bulls, and being hauled together, they would hurt each other if they had pointy tips.  Also, the tipping of horns is for the protection of riders and crew, and again, prior to that day.  Size of horns is irrelevant, it is the tip that is important, it must be larger than a silver dollar.
Helmets and vests were on the scene before Bodacious, though helmets became more popular after Tuff Hedemen's wreck and his adoption of the face mask.

Now, vests are mandatory (late 90's) and helmets are optional, though recommended.
