topic intro

my topic i s on rodeo and that is interesting to write about rodeo because rodeo is what i was raise to do , i also come from a family that comes from living life of rodeo so it makes it simple for me everytime i talk about rodeo, i ain;t the best at talking about rodeo but i am going to try because i just need to get a grade on rodeo and finish this assingment by talking about rodeo so living and competing in the rodeo is a tough sport to choose at times when you get fusstratted because if you want to rodeo your giogh have to learn a lot and once you starte living the life of rodeo you have to wake up from sunrise and feed your animals, you practice for life, get preached at by an expert, get injured and some times suffer the pain and sometimes you live the pain for life so there is alot about doing the sport of rodeo, you even have to talk about just the name rodeo.
rodeo is a great sport to do sometimes because it deals with money like one cents to millions and millions of money you could win so its a fun sport and here is one event i am going to talk about : pound pitching, twisting bronc. Considered rodeo’s “classic” event, saddle bronc riding evolved from the ranch work of breaking and training horses. Many cowboys say bronc riding is the most difficult roughstock event to master because of its technical requirements. Spurring action must be synchronized with the horse’s movements. If a rider is able to “keep in time” with the horse, the ride will be fluid and graceful, not wild and uncontrolled. A saddle bronc rider’s feet must touch the horse’s shoulders on the first jump out of the chute. This is called a “mark-out,” and a contestant who fails to have his feet in place at the beginning of the ride is said to have “missed his mark” and is disqualified. He will receive a “no score” for the round. The rider, gripping a thick rein attached to the horse’s halter as his only means of securing himself to the animal, attempts to place his feet over the horse’s shoulders a split second before the animal’s front feet strike the ground. As the horse bucks, the rider bends his knees and finishes his spurring stroke with his spurs near the “cantle,” the back of the saddle, then snaps his feet back to the horse’s shoulders as the animal’s front feet hit the ground.
