Rodeo Clowns: The Jesters Of The West

Rodeo clowns are some of rodeo's most colorful elements. The cunning combination of pantomime, bravado, and speed both amuse and captivate the audience.

The cowboy appreciates the rodeo clowns as well. These talented targets lure irate bulls and horses away from a thrown cowboy with their eye-catching antics.

The rodeo clowns are the royal jesters in the courtly arena. The quality of their performances fascinate the crowd, but do not distract the clown from his primary duty of keeping the rider safe.

Spectators never know when a horse or bull could hurt a fallen rider, and the rodeo clowns keep it that way.
