Bull riding is no doubt the most dangerous rodeo competition. Instead of a wild horse, riders have to try and mount an angry bull, which does not hesitate to gore the cowboy once it has thrown him on the ground if he does not escape quickly enough (Ponoka Stampede, Alberta, Canada).

In the steer wrestling or bulldogging competition, the rider jumps – while in full gallop – from his saddle onto a (usually young) bull and tries to throw it to the ground by twisting its horns (Ponoka Stampede, Alberta, Canada).
