RE: Our Only Female Professional Bull Rider

in #sports7 years ago

Looks pretty rough. An old saying springs to mind
You play with the Bull until you get it's horn up your ass
Never been to a Bull-Ride before. Do they do it for the money, the love of the Sport or to 'prove their worth' as a Cowboy/Girl?
Wondering what the longevity is for this sport too?

Sort:  

haha! great saying but these guys sure ain't playin with these monsters, they've been bred to be killers so they have alot of respect for them.

As far as motivation, Maggie Parker admitted that she was addicted to the excitement, the lifestyle, crowds and traveling, the whole experience.
But they make really good money so that is a big part of it for some of them. The longevity is short, if you're 30 you're definitely retirement age but I doubt if most make it that long.
thanks so much for reading and commenting!
