Title: First Cowgirl allowed to compete in Bull Ride
Post by: weeds on April 17, 2017, 07:10:42 AM

Currently running the sleep out of my eyes at the Maindenwell Bull Ride

It surprised me that a girl was in the junior bull ride...introducing the cowboys they explained that she was the national champion in the Poddy last year and put a case forward to the association to be allowed to compete in the junior Steer ride....they approved her application, she is the first girl.

Junior Steer ride was only one round last night, she had a good Steer and had a good ride but got crunched into the fence bad. She laid flat on her back without moving for what felt like ages, the clowns did good in distracting the bull......while this was happening the judges announced she rode time, she come too and was dragged off the ring (no HIA, stretchers, medical assistance, magic sponge like the footy) by a clown and a couple of cowboys. Her ride was best of the night.

An hour or so later at the end of the event we walked past the ambulance and she was sitting receiving treatment.

Tough chick to be taking on bulls well steers. She won $250 for her troubles. I wonder if she will progress to the junior bull ride....

Good on her.....

I thing I don't like about these small rodeo rings and how close the fences are to the chutes as quite a few cowboys got crunched/injured by the fence

Good on her for pushing the boundaries.
$250 should almost cover her physio.

When my daughter was little, she wanted to be a junior bullrider - until she realised you ALWAYS fall off lol

Good on her. Takes guts to get on a bull (or steer) regardless of who you are. If she wants to ride them, let her. :)

That's one that would well & truly get you in the record books - first bull-rider ever to NOT get thrown! :D
