ROCK'N S RODEO COMPANY::EXPLAINING OUR RODEO

Nothing is more exciting than professional bullriding. It is eight seconds of “bite your lip and then scream” anticipation. Our riders come from all over the country. Rodeo is the fastest growing sport in the country and Rock’n S is #1. Families come for an entire evening of entertainment. Our patriotic introduction with a cowgirl riding and displaying the American flag to music gets the crowd’s attention. Next the lights dim and the cowboys are all introduced as the contenders when they line up in the arena. The cowboys tip their hats and bend their knees as a local pastor prays. Then a beautiful voice comes across the speakers with pride as she sings the National Anthem.

As the lights come on, people are at the edge of their seats. Before any music, you can hear the bull snort and push the chute as it waits for his rider. The announcer explains the rules and name of the game as the first cowboy prepares. You can’t imagine experiencing for the first time and 150-pound guy trying to ride a 1500-pound bull from 50 feet away. It’s unbelievable hearing the bull fight, seeing the expressions on the cowboys face, and feeling the tingle on the back of your neck as the buzzer screams. Somehow the cowboy dismounts and throws his hat in the air victoriously. The crowd is standing up and cheering. Behind the scenes bullfighters are protecting that cowboy, judges are scoring that ride, and hands are loading the chutes with more bulls. Wow, this is way better than watching TV!

Rock’n S Rodeos are sanctioned NABA or the North American Bullriding Association. What this means is our rodeos follow strict guidelines made by this association. Our judges, secretary, and bullfighters must meet special criteria too. Best of all, the top bullriders come to NABA shows to accumulate points for a $50,000 added money finals in Memphis at the end of the season. When these cowboys ride---they mean business. You’ll be standing up too!

Up-beat music, funny jokes, and constant activity keep people involved. Our hilarious funny man is Brandon Mills from Kentucky. He keeps everyone laughing with his jokes and skits. During intermission kids, usually dressed in their cowboy duds, come out in the arena for games and prizes coordinated by the “cowgirl crew”. A very talented trick rider performs a spectacular show. Gena Cox and her horse will make your mouth drop as she hangs on all different directions. The action never stops.

The best 8 or 10 cowboys come back for the “short go”. This is the most exciting part of the show. Rock’n S Rodeo stacks the rankest bulls for the short go. Out of a possible 100 point score, 50 points is based on the bull and 50 points on the rider. Our bulls come from as far as Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and North Dakota. Kevin Schumacher, owner of Rock’n S Rodeo Company has contracted his bulls in the US Smokeless Tobacco PBR Tour as well as the NABA Finals. Those bulls are his pride and joy. Not many riders usually last the eight seconds in the short go. At the end of the rodeo, the winners are presented with a big check and interviewed. Fans follow their favorite riders and bulls just like any other sport. Some enthusiasts come to get autographs at the end of the rodeo. Everyone goes home happy after some all- American family entertainment.
