rodeo
Western riding exhibition
A rodeo is a competitive exhibition of cowboy skills—bronco riding, bull riding, calf roping, steer wrestling.
The events originated from the working practices of cattle ranching in the American West.
Rodeo extends to any chaotic or competitive scene: Getting the kids ready for school is a rodeo every morning.
To rodeo is to compete in such events.
