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.
Your life isn't something you should skimp out on. In the US recommend US Rodeo Supply and in Canada Bramers Rodeo and Western Supply.
They're pricey as they're designed specifically for bull Riding.
Your alternative would be to buy used on eBay or classifieds or word of mouth.
Every event you miss or day of work you miss because you're injured is going to cost money... Prollyore than you'd save on equipment.

Deep question.
I would say as soon as you nod for one, you're a bull rider.
But until you make a whistle, I would just say, "I ride bulls"....
Share Answer: 
This is a tough question. Bucking bulls are mostly cross-bred... Brahma for the humps, horns and height, and other breeds for stockiness and athleticism.
Stocker bulls may be fatter, but there won't be a stronger, athletic bull on the planet.
Share Answer: 
If you're athletic, then you should be ok! You have to have good balance and reaction time, plus strength helps.
My best recommendation is to take a weekend clinic and see if it's for you.

There are very few women that attempt Bull Riding at the higher levels. It really is a rough sport and you take a beating. Upper body strength is key as well.
There was a girl in 2011 that tried to make it up through the ranks of the PBR, and it didn't really work out for her.
As romantic as the sport is with the whole Man vs. Beast thing, it really takes a special breed of contender to withstand the toll and struggle that goes with it.

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.
