In the olden days, after the bull gets branded the Stockman would ride the bull for fun. Everyone would sit around watching the ride and then someone chooses to ride the next one. This is how the real rodeo use to be. There was a karitya bloke (white man) named Bob Sullivan who would always ride bulls and a friend of mine who was a policeman named Steve was a real bull rider.
