rodeo

A lot of the time is spent on volunteer kids riding sheep, cows, and bulls. So if you have kids that would participate, it is fun. Otherwise the skills of those “professional” cowboys aren’t very good. Only 2 managed to stay on the bull until the time is up. Some of the barrel racing involved children sitting on the horse while the cowboy parent pulled the horse. It’s ok to watch if you have nothing better to do.

This was not a professional rodeo by any means. They had bull riders, barrel racing, and cattle roping. There were only 2-3 barrel racers and about 8 teams doing cattle roping and maybe 12 people riding bulls. The best part was when the kids from the audience got to try their hand at riding sheep (kids 8 yrs and under) and junior steers. My son (13) and daughter (9) rode junior steers. They were given helmets, got into the cage, sat on the steers and held on for dear life! The gate swung open and they managed to stay on the steer for about 3 seconds before being thrown off. They dusted themselves off quickly and ran back towards the gate while the crowd cheered.They were scared before the ride but afterwards they were all smiles. The rodeo was about one hour long which is as long as it needed to be. It was a pleasant way to spend the evening and my kids have something unusual and interesting to say when their teacher asks them what they did over summer vacation.

Nice to have seen this once. They do it every night. Especially for kids a lot of fun. And only $11,- Tickets can be bought in the mainhall of Ruby's Inn.

We took our family with boys ages 11 and 14. It was fun for them to see a rodeo for the first time and here there are real cowboys and their families hanging around. Good value for the money and great activity for the evening. The highlight was signing up our youngest son who rode one of the calves in the rodeo (our eldest passed). He stayed on 7 seconds ! All the kids got $3 if they got out of the gate. The whole "backstage" scene is a must to be experienced. Helmets and protective vests are provided for kids and parents sign a long liability waiver for obvious reasons.

We expected the rodeo to be quite touristy however were pleasantly surprised to find this was not the case. It was a great experience and highly recommended

Was excited as we'd never been to a rodeo before and as it was just 5 minutes walk from our hotel we decided to give it a try.We arrived 30 minute prior to the stated time to discover that the covered over seating had already gone and it was only us tourists left out in the evening sun.The rodeo started with some cute kids on sheep back which was quite fun and as the evening went on the young kids (5-6) we'd guess got older and as the animals got bigger until the adults turn and some of the horses looked positively hostile. Was amazed at how quick these cowboys and girls got thrown and there were whoops of delight when someone managed to stay the course. Started looking at my watch after 90 minutes as it was getting a bit repetitive. 30 minutes later it all came to an unceremonious stop and everyone went home.Glad we went to see it and enjoyed the atmosphere even though the announcements about who was who etc were very muffled and done in such an American 'yee ha' fashion that half the time it was incomprehensible

While the rodeo was small, it was big on entertainment.The cowboys provided thrills with the main events of bronc and bull riding, team roping, barrel racing. Our trail guide from earlier in the day was one of the cowboys. It was fun to see someone we knew in the rodeo.This was the first rodeo for just about everyone in the full stands( many European tourists) The outdoors setting was mesmerizing with the setting sun behind the distant mountains, the horses and steer corralled alongside the rodeo fence. I sat there after the rodeo taking in the western scene and charm. My 11 year old daughter was able to ride on one of the calves. She fell off but what a memory. I will forever remember her smile

De rodeo is niet supergroot opgezet, maar brengt de sfeer van een rodeowedstrijd heel goed over. Kinderen vonden het een super ervaring.

Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di assistere a questo spettacolo, si vedeva che non era un rodeo competitivo, era fatto per i turisti, ma per me che era la prima volta che vedevo un simile spettacolo è stato veramente divertente..Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che vanno a visitare il parco..

Rodeo was een combinatie van show en echte rodeo, zeer onderhoudend en leuk om met hele gezin te doen.

Nous sommes allés à ce Rodéo pour compléter notre expérience "américaine" de cet été. Le spectacle n'est pas tant dans l'exploit sportif (la partie pure Rodéo est assez courte) que dans l'ambiance dans les tribunes et chez les jeunes participants.On comprend que les chevaux et les vaches font vraiment partie de la culture de l'ouest.Si on y ajoute des pop corns et un hot dog la soirée est complète.

j'avais organisé mon road trip pour arriver un jeudi à Bryce et pouvoir assister à un Rodéo !Quelle déception !les 10 premières minutes vous laissent présager d'un spectacle génial, mais finalement, ce n'était que les seules minutes de bien. Donc 3 ou 4 rodéo maximum, puis ensuite, ils font entrer des touristes pour leur faire du pseudo rodéo sur des vaches, et même des moutons !!! Ambiance nulle, avec de la musique techno, rythme très lent. Bref, au bout d'un quart d'heure, on se demandait comment faire pour partir discrètement. Mais finalement, a la fin du spectacle, on se rend compte que les gradins se sont vidés.pour info, il paraît que quelques années auparavant, c'était un vrai spectacle de Rodéo. Alors peut être auront ils une prise de conscience...

Non siamo esperti di rodeo, ma questo ci è sembrato davvero penoso. Siamo stati spinti ad andare perchè pubblicizzato all'ingresso del Bryce e soprattutto perchè arrivati nel pomeriggio non è che ci sia molto da fare, ma dopo che paghi 11 dollari a testa per entrare rimani deluso. Infatti a parte l'inizio dello show dove alcuni cowboy si esibiscono sopra i cavalli, la maggior parte dello spettacolo è svolto da piccoli bambini del posto, che sicuramente fanno tenerezza ma non può quindi paragonarsi ad un vero rodeo. Almeno dopo aver visto molti anni fa un rodeo in texas questo è fdavvero ridicolo.

On attend trop entre les rodéos. Peu de chevaux sont montes. Ce sont essentiellement des vaches. Beaucoup de petits enfants. Pas ou peu de musique. C'est très lassant. On avait modifié nos dates de circuit pour être là aux jours d'ouverture, on a été bien déçu. Heureusement, les enfants ont trouvé ça pas trop mal.

J'avais été à ce rodéo il y a 7 ans, génial. Je viens d'y retourner, une catastrophe. C'est un attrape touristes, il se passe sur 1h de show 15 minutes intéressantes, le reste du temps il font appel aux gens du publics... Payer pour voir des gamins courir après un mouton, ce n'est pas un rodéo ! A éviter, ou y aller pour les 20 dernières minutes...
