National Finals Rodeo
May 14, 2008 – 12:45 am
The National Finals Rodeo (or NFR) is a yearly event where all the top Rodeo Cowboys (or Cowgirls) come to claim their championship as the world’s best. There are seven main events;
calf roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding and team roping. Bull riding and team roping may be one of the more recognized events. National Rodeo Final is held by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (also known as PRCA). It’s a thrilling event where people come from all over to risk their lives to be named champion. Personally, I love the thrill and excitment of the rodeo events, and the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd only adds to the experience. It’s quite popular and tickets sell fast. Personally, I would love to get my hands on some National Rodeo Finals tickets for myself and my family and friends. Some of my personal favorites include the barrel racing (exclusive to women), steer wrestling, bull riding and team roping. Steer wrestling in particular is risky for the animal and cowboy doing the wrestling, and perhaps that is what makes it so exciting - the risks involved. You have to be top trained professionals to even attempt any of these events.
