I live my life 8-seconds at a time as an adrenaline junkie that goes event to event, matching up against some of the rankest bulls in the world in an 8-second battle for supremacy.
If it's your passion, she should recognize that and let you do that.
If she doesn't support you, then it's perhaps not a solid relationship. A person should never stand in the way of someone else's dreams.
You could always do a trade... you ride bulls, she can do another hobby.
But be careful, you should really find out what her issue is with it first... and address it.
It really depends on the sanctioning. Most times you need to pay at the event at the lower levels, and you usually need a member to enter you, unless you're a local. All of the entry info should be with the event info (#, etc.)
good luck!
If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
I think two-handed riding is ridiculous, especially if you want to continue with the sport. Why start and learn all over again? And it's like two-arm curling a steers head into your helmut mask... but to each their own.
My sponsorship advice is to create a package (1,2,3-4 pages long) that talks about who you are, where you're going, what you can do for the sponsor and how they're helping you (what the fees go to). Be sure to offer lots of things for the sponsors... names on shirts, vests, helmets, autograph cards, etc. And then play the numbers game... keep calling and giving it to people until you get what you need. 50 may say no before 1 says yes.
Good luck x 2!

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!
I spend around $10,000-$15,000 on fuel, flights and hotel. You always share when you can... a dollar saved is a dollar earned... and travelling partners make the Sport.
School of hard knocks...
but we definitely recommend a weekend rodeo clinic or school as a starter... and repeat.
