Small Rodeo Vs. Large Rodeo

It you’ve got a hankering to watch some of the toughest cowboys in the Wild West, you may be in luck. On your weekends home from your private boarding schools it only takes a simple search to find a rodeo in your area.

Places like Montana and Wyoming host more than 100 rodeo events between the months of May and November. Now the only other decision you’ll have to make is whether you want to attend a small or large rodeo.

Small Rodeo

There’s nothing quite like sitting on a weathered wooden bench, snacking on popcorn while watching your local rodeo. For students who take part in the sport at their private boarding schools, this is an opportunity to get noticed by the big time athletes.

When attending a small rodeo, you get all the benefits of a rodeo along with the small town charm that so many people love. The biggest benefit of a small town rodeo is the fact that there are fewer lines to wait in. Grabbing a snack between events is a painless feat.

Large Rodeo

When you want to see the Wild West come alive in a grand fashion, there are a couple shows you should attend. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) and Cheyenne Frontier Days are some of the largest rodeo events in the nation. These rodeos host more than a week of events.

Those competing in the rodeo have a chance of receiving bigger prizes and some of the most valuable belt buckles in the sport. These rodeos expose students of private boarding schools to art shows, carnivals, cowboy cooking contests and just about anything rodeo related you could imagine. Not to mention they often score major headliners at their concerts.

If you’re fixin’ to go to the rodeo you have a big decision ahead of you. Dive right in to the cowboy fun no matter where you choose to attend.
