The cowboys in movies are always visualized with a lot of skills, love adventure and talent. However, real-life cowboys are not always like that. Most of the time they work, maybe even 18 hours a day continuously if it’s difficult, tiring tasks and all tied to the role of raising livestock. Cowboys can be said to be lonely people, even this emotion is clearly expressed in their songs and poems.
Rodeo and the cowboy race
The competitions for cowboys have appeared quite a lot from 1820 – 1830, but were officially held in 1872. Among them, Buffalo Bill Cody or Annie Oakley are the most prominent names. Most of the challenges are usually throwing ropes to catch goats, jumping for deer, riding fidgety horses, riding bulls, or riding a clover. Rodeo is most popular today in Canada and the US.
