Channel Your Inner Cowboy At Rodeo School

As we slowly creep towards spring, you might be thinking of getting more in touch with nature and maybe some wildlife. If that’s the case, then you’ll be the perfect candidate for a weekend at rodeo school.

Sankey Rodeo Schools offers classes across the country to get you more familiar with bull riding, bareback riding, and even being a rodeo clown. All the equipment, gear, and critters are provided, so just bring yourself—and a Xanax.

There’s no mechanical bulls here, only the real things full of horns and fur. The school caters to both the casual thrill seeker as well as those looking to make it a career, so you’ll get the full experience. Most classes offer a weekend adventure where you’ll be paired with a critter that’s in your league, and the instructors promise they are there for you to learn. If you’re looking for a last minute Valentine’s Day idea there’s even a class taking place in Summerville, Georgia this weekend. The bull riding classes here will set you back $410.

The school maintains high safety ratings and has been chosen to do the safety demonstrations for rodeo associations across the country, but that really doesn’t make us feel any more secure. There’s a definite risk here, and it’s a far cry from your dad’s dream vacation at the dude ranch. Best of all, if you really get into, the school offers more advanced classes that can make your cowboy dreams come true.
