Thats the harsh fact behind the dangerous but highly important role played by these Pagliaecis of the dusty arena. Its ironic that the pickup men used to rescue the cowboys in the bronc riding events cant be used in bull riding. The broncs, for the most part, carry no grudge against their riders. They simply want to get the cowboys off their backs. That done, theysgo on about their business. The bulls, on the other hand, try to throw their riders so they can charge them, trying to kill them with their hooves and horns. They're no more friendly toward jiorses. So the pickup horses are kept a safe distance away at the other end of the arena and the clowns move in on foot. A REAL David and Goliath match. Rodeo Brahmas often average a ton apiece, are wise to the evasive ways of man, and, unlike the naive fighting bulls of Spain and dont waste their Mexico, energy on long, straight, charges.

Clowns fall generally into two categories: barrel men and bull fighters. The fighters work afoot, while the others, usually teamed with a fighter, work in and out of a steel drum padded on the outside with old rubber tires. IT WOULD seem at first that the real rescue work is done by the fighter, with the barrel man there simply for the comedy of being bounced around. But the barrel man is an important part of the team.
