Every year there is an annual rodeo for just specific people that are sponsored. Dodge City has hosted this event for two years now at the Expo Center. The IFCA stands for International Feedlot Cowboy Association and takes place during the summer between 25-27th of June. This rodeo is special to my family because it's the time where we make major plans for everyone to have fun. My dad is part of the team roping division in which he has gotten several awards before. This is a time where people from all over Texas, Colorado, and Nebraska come to compete. You meet new people and have an experience by the end of the day. Everyday is a new day. It is amazing how everyone does their part and the show is phenomenal. Although I don't compete,
Washakie County School District sponsors many sports and clubs. Sports include football, wrestling, soccer, basketball, track, cross country, and golf. Some clubs or other teams include key club, forensics team, FFA, and several others. But there are also several teams that the school district do not support or sponsor. Such as baseball, bowling, downhill and cross country skiing, snowboarding, ultimate frisbee and rodeo. In the poem, “Slam, Dunk, and Hook”, the author talks about the thrills of a sport and what people can learn from them. Rodeo is a sport that can teach people many different virtues and values such as patience, confidence, and frugality.
Rodeo, as a sport, is judged overall through a point system. So even if you don’t win a single event, you can still have enough points to get all around cowgirl if an individual participates and places in all events within a circuit. Since this sport is considered the biggest adrenaline rush for women in rodeo, I would love to participate in a barrel race. I think that the women that compete have a lot of guts to let a horse get at its top speed and still manage to maneuver around three barrels. The amount of athletic ability that is required from the horse is incredible and I give much respect to the women that excel and have the money to invest in such an amazing horse.
Bullfighting has been a tradition passed along for many years. It is a sport of baiting and killing bulls spectated by the public in an outdoor arena. But how exactly did Bullfighting begin? Bullfighting originated when the first bullfight was held in honor of King Alfonso VIII's coronation in 1133. It was called a corrida back then. These events eventually became popular for celebrating important events and to test the zeal of noblemen. The bullfight first seen at the coronation in 1133 was popularized in 1726 when Francisco Romero started using a cape and weapons during the event. Some older paintings imply that some type of bullfighting existed before 1133. A wall painting in Crete that dates to 2000 B.C. shows men and women grabbing a bull
I believe that I should receive the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo scholarship because of the dedication and love for stock shows and pigs. In addition, it will help supplement the rising tuition cost to attend Texas Tech University. My family's income relies mainly on my family’s unpredictable financial income. Our income stems mostly from my father, who farms. His earnings fluctuate from year to year due to variables that come naturally with farming. Though he is an extremely hard worker, there are times that his cotton yields are low thanks to weather, pests, and other things that can be detrimental to a crop. Farming requires diligence and a family that works together. Thankfully, I have both. Sometimes, however, no matter how hard he
The Texas Roadhouse in Sioux City delights with hand-cut steaks, made-from-scratch sides, fresh baked bread and an all-out great experience. A great way to enjoy variety is with the combos that give you the chance to have two types of protein, such as grilled BBQ chicken with steak, ribs with ribeye, shrimp with a filet or plenty of other choices to satisfy any craving or hearty appetite.
Fair in Texas that comes to Dallas every fall. I haven’t been since I was very
In theory, political campaigns are the most important culmination of the democratic debate in American politics. In practice, however, the media shrouds society’s ability to engage in a democratic debate with unenlightening campaign coverage. Because of this, it is difficult—if not impossible—to have educated political discourse in which the whole, factual truth is on display. After years of only seeing the drama of presidential campaigns, the American public has become a misinformed people.
During, the whole rodeo season I looked forward to going to the State Finals. I didn't attend the finals as a participant, but as a spectator. As President of the "Saddle Bronc Fan Club" for my friend Cole, there was no way I would miss this experience. We both had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Professional rodeo is one of the more popular equine competitions.The beginnings of rodeo can be traced back to the ranches of the early 1700’s, when the Spanish ruled the West. The Spanish cattlemen on these early ranches had duties including roping, horse breaking, riding, herding, branding, and much more. These events are now competitions in our modern day rodeos (Clark).
During the Revolutionary War, the first cavalry was established. For example in 1775, Paul Revere rode his horse through the night to alert the American settlers the British army was coming. The cavalry consisted of men who rode horses. The advantage of using the cavalry is that they could cover more miles, in a shorter period of time. The horses were not always treated with the best of care. The cavalry had several impacts on past wars.
Phew! It ain't just me. So, we're all in this together. I know we'll all eventually get it, and the show will turn out fine because everyone is not only talented, but also extremely dedicated and focused. I just have to keep BREATHING!

It is just a fun time to be with friends to see who is the best that day. There is about five places around Garner that there are sweet jumps to show off on and see who the best of the best is a lot of times I take the win that's if my brother Tucker is not home if he is home he will kick everyone's butt. One time Tucker and I were out messing around and I was trying to splash him and at the same time I thought I should jump but I didn’t. My leg was off the running broad and I landed on it and I thought I broke my leg but I just sprained it.
