A bit of rider: to protect from a bull after falling rider wear lasting jacket, on his feet - quality shoes which carries Spurs, working hand dressed in a glove made of leather and tied the end of the breast rope the bull in his mouth put individual mouthguard to protect teeth during jump .

Under the rules of the rider after the opening of the gates to the arena must stay on the bull for 8 seconds. Judges will evaluate how the skill of the rider, and the behavior of the bull. Sluggish and passive bull earns the least amount of points. Touch the bull or the harness second hand during the race can not, so it keeps the rider raised up high.
A few words about the bull: in races was Aberdeen Angus, a Scottish breed of hornless bulls. This breed - the main supplier of Beef to our table. Bull used for races - defective, purebred bulls of this kind should have a black color, so he had the unenviable fate - or a table in the degree of medium rare, or at the rodeo.
Before the arrival of the bull driven into a special box where it is attached the rope back in the region of the sacrum, which gives him discomfort and he tries to throw her kicking. To keep the rider in front, wrapped around the chest a second rope, which hung to the bell ringing his frightening bull.
The representatives of animal protection organizations have organized a day earlier in St. Petersburg rally, which demanded to ban such events, arguing that too stretched rope the bull gives pain, and a rope with a rider breaks his ribs, and such a spectacle is unacceptable for young children.
"We believe that in today's society there should be no place for such pleasures. At the moment, there are many other ways to have a good time without resorting to the suffering of animals. "- Said one of the representatives of zoozaschitnikov.
In fairness it should be noted that the rope behind the bull after fixing on it in any way not further delay. As for the ribs have, the mass of the bull of the breed average 750-850 kg and 70-90 kg of weight of the rider, and if you hold the rope rider 1 \ 10 of its mass in the bull may damage the ribs, it is terrible to imagine He feels that the cow when it covers a bull weighing a ton. Apparently the cow instantly turns into ground beef.
