I Love Rodeos

I love to go to rodeos. I fell in love with rodeos at a very young age. I remember watching the horses trot around the arena. I would sit in the front row and admire the beauty of the horses. I love the atmosphere that rodeos have, it is indescribable. There is so much going on, from the sounds of all the animals, to the laughter of the crowd. As I got older the love for rodeos increased. Now, that I was older I started to pay attention to how I dressed. I loved to get dressed in my boots, blue jeans, and flannel. These are why I love rodeos, I think you can learn to love rodeos by bringing your friends and family, having a love for animals, and meeting new people.
The first way that you could start to love rodeos is by making them into a family event. Rodeos have so much different things for all kinds of people and for all ages. You can bring your little kids, and teenagers and there is something for the whole family. For the little kids they have sheep riding and even donkey racing. For the teenagers of your family they have stuff like, team roping, bull riding, and barrel racing. If you are away at college, like me, then you can just go with a group of friends. If you go with friends it is a good opportunity to get out and socialize with different type of people. …show more content…

Growing up in a small town, I have gone to the Mississippi Valley Fair all my life. Nonetheless, the attractions compared to the Iowa State Fair are very poorly put together. The rides at the Iowa State fair are not only larger in size, but also generate a much smoother ride for the riders. There is even one day of the week during the fair when one can buy a wristband and ride all the rides you want. One of my favorite rides that my friend and I went on was probably the fireball.

They just pet him/her and tell themselves that the next run will go better. In the roping events, the steers or calves will sometimes will be shocked if they are not standing up right and they can’t get them up or if they don’t leave the chute good, but the hot shot is always the last resort and they never want to use it. In the roughstock events, the animals do not get shocked in the chute at all. Source D, “What is rodeo?” says, “Depending on the event, other equipment is designed strictly for the protection of an animal; i.e., skid boots for the back legs of calf roping horses that come to a fast and sliding stop; bell boots on the front leg ankles of barrel horses if the animals over reach with their back legs; a neck rope on a calf roping horse that
