About Rodeo
Rodeo is a sport which arose out of the working practices of cattle herding in Spain, Mexico, and later the United States, Canada, South America and Australia. It was based on the skills required of the working vaqueros and later, cowboys, in what today is the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico. Today it is a sporting event that consists of events that involve horses and other livestock, designed to test the skill and speed of the human cowboy and cowgirl athletes who participate. Professional rodeos generally comprises the following events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, bull riding and barrel racing. The events are divided into two basic catergories: the rough stock events and the timed events. Depending on sanctioning organization and region, other events such as breakaway roping, goat tying, or pole bending may also be a part of some rodeos.
Rodeo, particularly popular today within the Canadian province of Alberta and throughout the western United States, is the official state sport of Wyoming and Texas, and the iconic silhouette image of a Bucking Horse and Rider is a federal and state registered trademark of the State of Wyoming. The Legislature of Alberta has considered making rodeo the official sport of that province, however, enabling legislation has yet to be passed.
In North America, professional rodeos are governed and sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association , while other associations govern children's, high school, collegiate, and senior rodeos. Associations also exist for Native Americans, and other minority groups. The traditional season for competitive rodeo runs from spring through fall. The traditional peak time for the largest number of rodeos is the July 4th weekend. The modern professional rodeo circuit runs longer, and concludes with the PRCA Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada which is now held in December.
Rodeo has provoked opposition from animal rights and animal welfare advocates, who argue that various competitions constitute animal cruelty. The American rodeo industry has made progress in improving the welfare of rodeo animals, with specific requirements for veterinary care and other regulations that protect rodeo animals. However rodeo is opposed by a number of animal welfare organizations in the United States and Canada, and some local and state governments in North America have banned or restricted rodeo or certain rodeo events, or types of equipment. Internationally, it is banned in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. With other European nations placing restrictions on certain practices.
The American English word "rodeo" is taken directly from Spanish "rodeo" . The most common English translation is "round up."
