What is Rodeo?
Its a sport event which have its origin attributed to the practice of cattle hearding in spain, Mexico, US, Canada, Australia …etc. It is an event of Cowboys and involves many time judged events involving cattle and horses. It is designed in such a way that the skill, speed and ability of the cow boys and gals are tested. (This is the official sport of Wyoming and Texas.)

For enthusiast like me, cowboys are icons and for cowboys “The National Finals Rodeo (NFR), popularly known as the “super bowl of rodeo” stays the event of the year when world championship is awarded to the cowboy or cowgirl at the end of NFR. National Finals Rodeo is held each year in the first full week of December at the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada (Thomas and Mack Center). This time the big buzz starts on fourth of December till December 13th 2008. The National Finals Rodeo showcases the talents of the nation’s top fifteen money-winners in each event as they compete for the world title. Eight world champions are crowned in seven events namely, Bareback Riding, Steer wrestling, Team roping, Saddle bronc riding, Tie-down roping, Bull riding and Barrel racing. Apart from this, a “World All-Around Rodeo Champion Cowboy” title is also awarded at the end of the NFR to the highest-earning cowboy who has regularly competed in more than one event during the year. So, what are you waiting for ? Be prepared to buy your NFR Tickets in advance and do not miss the action.
