History The name comes from in the Spanish verb rodear, "to walk around," or the Latin verb rotare, "to turn. Rodeo indicates roundup, or the gathering of animals (generally cattle or horses) to be counted, inspected and branded; as a sport it refers to the general public spectacle in which the vibrant elements of a roundup are provided as a cowboy competitors: bronc riding, bull riding, guide wrestling, calf and steer roping (with more recent additions such as barrel racing, chuckwagon racing and wild-cow milking), as seen in such yearly occasions as the Calgary Stampede.

Rodeo in N America owes its origin to a range of historic customs and entertainment forms. In the 16th century, vaqueros, Mexican ranchers, utilized la reata (rope), dressed themselves in chaperajos (leggings) and tended sturdy Spanish livestock from the backs of wiry N African riding stock. The 1847 journals of travelling Irish military captain Mayne Reid supply perhaps the earliest rodeo documents of vaqueros roping and throwing guides in the streets of Santa Fe, New Mexico Territory.

In the Canadian West, broncobusting was considered sport at the Military Colonization Company cattle ranch, and rope-throwing competitions were prevalent at the Fort Macleod Agricultural Fair in the 1880s. At the Walrond corral, John Ware is credited with a few of the earliest displays of steer wrestling in 1892. The very first Canadian rodeo was kept in Raymond, Alta, in 1903.

Previous American cowpuncher Man Weadick is responsible for promoting Wild West Displays in Canada, and in 1908 took his concept for an annual frontier day event, "leader reunion" and cowboy competition for world championship titles to Calgary. With assistance from regional politicians and business owners, Weadick amassed over $100 000 for the very first Calgary Stampede in 1912.

WWI stalled the momentum of rodeo competition, however the Success Stampede at Calgary (1919) revived cowboy contests in Canada completely. Rodeo became an annual international event at Calgary in 1923 integrated with an exhibit. Rodeo's appeal sparked the development of rodeo companies in the 1930s, first with the Rodeo Assn of America (which represented mainly rodeo managers).

Despite periodic incursions to rearrange rodeo competitors along team sport lines, the fundamental property of individual human strength and accuracy against animal and clock has remained. Bull riding, pitting a rider's balance and stability versus a one-ton Brahma bull's instinct to eliminate the cowboy from its back, formally went into rodeo competition in 1921.
