Rodeo : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Rodeo
The roots of the rodeo come from the arrival of the very first Spanish cow-boys in America. The abundance of land was so important that the breeders set the cattle free on vast surfaces. Then they had to figure out a way to identify their beasts, so they used the livestock branding, and to do so, they had to ride a horse, and use a lasso to catch the beast to be marked.
All these techniques were reused by the cow-boys arrived later in America. Then these practices turned into a sport, called rodeo, coming from the Spanish verb rodear meaning to turn.
Nowadays, rodeo is a sport event in which several athletes are in confrontation in various timed and rated tests. The goal is to emphasize the cowboy qualities of the participant. The competitors have to pass different tests such as horse or bull riding, and the tests copying the traditional cowboys tasks, such as the lasso catching.
