Preferred term

rodeos  

Definition

  • Popular in parts of the United States, Canada, South America, Australia, and New Zealand, countries where cattle were traditionally worked by men on horseback, rodeos are part entertainment and now part historical play-acting. Regarded as entertainment, rodeos are more than the ritualized maintenance of stock-handling practices in competitive form. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Rodeos]
