The Mexican charreada may have been the cradle of rodeo in the US, and it's still going strong in one of my favorite places. Black cowboys, (including Bill Pickett who latched onto the bull's lip with his teeth when bulldogging), American Indians, women and gay cowpokes have taken up the sport. Even the Europeans have cowboys. Canada has maybe the most famous rodeo, ever. If I still had horses, I'd see you at the Jackass Mailrun in April
