Health and Safety




Much talk in the Uk about health and safety, especially in regard to the clearing of snow of pavements. Here's a sport that would seem to make few concessions to the H&S lobby! Bull riding is just as you imagine it. It's basic, it's brutal and it's dangerous - oh, and the bull always wins! No-one stays on the bull. The aim is to stay on for 8 seconds and then to be bucked off as gracefully as possible. It was quite amazing to see this take place in Madison Square Gardens as New York City filled with men wearing stetsons, ladies in high boots and gleaming pick up trucks.  We felt that it would go down very well at Penrith Show!
