Of course, anyone can buy a ticket and head to the rodeo – but what else should you know if you’re new to this world?
To help answer that question, we reached out to
Abe Morris. Abe is a former professional bull rider who lives in Denver. He also spent nine years as a broadcast commentator for Cheyenne Frontier Days. And he encourages people who are on the fence to just go and experience the rodeo – no cowboy boots or hat needed.
“I think once you go to a rodeo and you see a good bull riding event or something like that, you're going to keep going. You're going to become a fan for life.”
Abe Morris joined host Erin O’Toole to share his perspective and insights on rodeo culture.
