Description

BULL RIDING TRIPTYCH by PRISCILLA BURGERS

This triptych depicts a seasoned cowboy giving a strong performance in the bull ride competition at the 2017 Gold Rush Days Senior Pro Rodeo in Wickenburg, Arizona. This annual Gold Rush Days event celebrates Wickenburg's ranching and mining heritage. Gold that Henry Wickenburg discovered in 1863 is what created this truly western community. Both the Gold Rush Days event and its NSPRA Senior Pro Rodeo have received numerous awards.

Bull riding is a rodeo sport that involves a rider getting on a bull and attempting to stay mounted while the animal attempts to buck off the rider. In the American tradition the rider must stay atop the bucking bull for eight seconds to count as a qualified ride. The rider tightly fastens one hand to the bull with a long braided rope. It is a risky sport and has been called "the most dangerous eight seconds in sports." Each bull has a unique name and number used to help identify it. A sufficient number of bulls, each judged to be of good strength, health, agility, and age, are selected to perform.

A rider mounts a bull and grips a flat braided rope. After securing a good grip on the rope, the rider nods to signal he is ready. The bucking chute (a small enclosure which opens from the side) is opened and the bull storms out into the arena. The rider must attempt to stay on the bull for at least eight seconds, while only touching the bull with his riding hand. The other hand must remain free for the duration of the ride.
