Did you know that there are 400,000-500,000 animal exposures at over 700 PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) events each year? And that out of that huge number, less than 0.1% of those exposures results in an injury! Did you know that the PRCA collects injury reports from every single sanctioned event? 

This podcast with Scott Dorenkamp, Livestock Program and Government Relations Manager, is full of all kinds of insightful information during this RodeoKids Podcast that will open your eyes and get you excited to share with other people! 

If someone were to come at you and start asking you questions about rodeo and how the animals are treated, would you be able to hold the conversation in a calm, cool, collected manner? Have you thought about what different events look like from the stands if you grew up in town and have no ties whatsoever to agriculture, ranching, rodeo or the western way of life?

Getting started in the rodeo world isn't exactly a cake walk, especially if you're a first generation cowboy or cowgirl with little to no guidance on where to start. During the RodeoKids Podcast episode, we talk about some of the basics and guidelines to consider and put into practice as you embrace this awesome journey! Learn more at www.rodeokids.com/rodeo101
