Apparently women were then sort of banned after a woman was killed(or injured?) at an event. The excuse was that the crowd was more upset over a woman being hurt than the men being hurt so they quit letting women ride.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-77323104630344317232012-07-22T10:19:43.049-04:002012-07-22T10:19:43.049-04:00My Granddaughter is Tayler LaFlash and at age 9 sh...My Granddaughter is Tayler LaFlash and at age 9 she started riding the mechanical bull at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. She did this for 2 years. At age 11 she entered the Grimes County Fair N Rodeo Steer Riding and won her first buckle in 2009. That was her first time on a live animal. We are so proud of her accomplishments and we stand behind her 100%. Good luck at World Finals, Tayler.

Wish I would have known about her earlier--I would have included her in my article. <br />Kallie would be more than welcome to submit an article about herself---how she got started Bull Riding, why she does it, events won, etc. and email it to cardinalcouple@insightbb.com for posting on "Reader submitted article Fridays". I'm sure our readers would love to hear about her. I know I would! <br /><br />Hope to see her in 5 years Riding Bulls in the PBR! (Although I believe I read that she hopes for a career in Barrel Racing).<br /><br />Hope to hear from Kallie soon! And the Very Best of Luck,<br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-21674317543638121302012-07-08T16:57:30.918-04:002012-07-08T16:57:30.918-04:00my step daughter rides.

Watched for about 10 minutes and was impressed with the toughness exhibited by not only the riders but the bulls as well. <br /><br />I used to ride the mechanical bull from time to time years ago at a popular nightspot. No way I could get on one of the real ones these days. It hurt just watching.<br /><br />PaulieCardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-30594364920937440412012-07-05T11:56:25.184-04:002012-07-05T11:56:25.184-04:00Ooops---Forgot to post link to Touring Pro Divisio...Ooops---Forgot to post link to Touring Pro Division Schedule:<br /><br />Here it is:<br /><br />http://www.pbr.com/en/tpd/schedule.aspx<br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-7855029421760505252012-07-05T11:50:58.333-04:002012-07-05T11:50:58.333-04:00Curtis,

The CBR has been around since 2002 and is another venue for riders to compete and earn a living. Not as big as the PBR---the PBR attracts over 1.5 Million fans a year at events. The CBR---350,000. (I did notice a couple riders that once competed in the PBR ride in the CBR). <br />But--Bull riding is Bull riding and it is still brutal regardless of the league. <br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-54332477803113189122012-07-05T11:45:40.876-04:002012-07-05T11:45:40.876-04:00Usually the Touring Pro Division has an event here...Usually the Touring Pro Division has an event here once a year. It was here Feb 24-25 at Broadbent arena. A few of the riders/bulls from the Built Ford Tough Series competed in that event. <br /><br />The Built Ford Tough Series Riders will be in Nashville Sept 7-8 at Bridgestone Arena. (That is where I saw my first PBR BFTS event)-- Most fans attend one day or the other---some both days. <br /><br />Here is a link to the remaining BFTS schedule with ticket info, TV schedule, etc.<br /><br />http://www.pbr.com/en/bfts/schedule.aspx<br /><br />The Touring Pro Division (step below BFTS) is still touring but all remaining events are mostly out West. Here is a link showing remaining schedule to give you an idea of where they ride. Usually they are in Louisville early Jan or Feb. <br /><br />If you have a chance to see a BFTS event do so. It is a "step above" the Touring Pro Division with more "bells and whistles". However, watching a Touring Pro Division Event will give one an idea of what to expect at a BFTS event since some of the same riders/bulls compete. (BFTS is like watching a Cincinnati Reds baseball game while watching a Touring Pro Division would be like watching the Louisville Bats.) <br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-50902358552361723722012-07-05T08:05:29.827-04:002012-07-05T08:05:29.827-04:00Hey, Mark
