RODEO CLOWNS
True Atheletes in Their Own Right, The Rodeo Clown Often Proves to Be The Cowboy's Best Friend
About Rodeo Clowns: A rodeo clown, also known as a bullfghter (US/Canada) or rodeo protection athelete, is a rodeo performer who works in bull and bronc riding competitions. Originally, the rodeo clown was a single job combining "bullfighting" - the protection of riders thrown from the bull, as well as being an individual who provided comic relief. Today in the USA, the job is split into two separate ones, hiring bullfighters who protect the riders from the bull, and entertainers, a barrelman and a clown, who provides comic humor. However, in other parts of the world and at some small rodeos, the jobs of rodeo rider protection and comic remain combined.
