Gate Charge Cancelation
As of now we are no longer going to charge a gate for any practice event we have.
Just to give some clarification, we have never tried to get rich bucking practice bulls. Our intent was and is to only make enough from bucking practice bulls to pay the bills and that's it. But lately we have been doing less and less business so the gate was a idea to try and make up the diffrence and it has not worked.
If this continues we will be forced to start cutting back on the amount of practice days we do have. It's just not efficient for us to spend the time preparing to buck bulls when only 2 or 3 bull riders show up. We understand times are tough and we will do whatever we have to do to keep things the way they are. The bottom line is, we need more bull riders that realise that "practice makes perfect" but when we start losing money, then something will have to change.
We want folks to know that we appreciate everyone that does come out on a regular basis and we will continue to help out any and all bull riders for as long as we can.
We appreciate everyones understanding and look forward to seeing ya'll out here.

Mothers Day (May 13th, 2012)
In celebration of Mothers Day Bad Dog Rodeo will NOT be bucking on May 13th so everyone can spend the day with their families. We'll be back on the regular schedule the following Wednesday and Sunday as before.
Have a Happy Mothers Day!

"No Cash, No Ride"

PUBLIC NOTICE
For those of you that have been looking for the Texas Law covering the wearing of helmets & vests while bull riding, we've attached a link to the actual bill. It reads like a contract but the gist of it is "no child under 18 years of age may participate in bull riding without wearing a helmet and vest...". Just click on the link below and you can download it.
S.B.ANo.A2505
According to the bill it became effective, one way or another, on Septemeber 1st of 2009.
What this means is that if you are under the age of 18 you will not be allowed to ride any bull at the Johnny Boren Memorial arena without wearing a helmet and vest. If you do not own both, you may be able to borrow one and we do have a couple that we can loan. But the bottom line is, "no vest and helmet, no bull riding." It's Texas law and Bad Dog Rodeo Co. will abide by it.
