First off, you must be in top physical condition , do to the level of danger and activities involved with the sport of rodeo.
Mental condition plays a large part in the sport also.
You must be sharp and be able to make snap decisions under pressure. You won't have much time to think about what's going on or what to do. Plus you must accept the dangers and the stress that go with the requirements of cowboy protection. Next is education. That's right education.
