Rodeo
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
A rodeo is a North American sport with ideas from the history of Mexican vaqueros (cowboys) and American cowboys. Rodeo originated as an bigger event of the day-to-day lives of early American cowboys; caring for cattle,riding,training young bucking horses, etc. So, rodeos made a natural progression to competition between the cowboys. Bragging rights about who could stay on a "bronc-y" horse went from passing the hat for the winner, to today's large purses at competitions such as the National Finals Rodeo.
