In addition to providing entertainment between rodeo events, these performers have raised the stakes to become the most essential and highly skilled members of the circuit. The book gives readers a background in the history of rodeo before tracking the evolution of the rodeo clown into the exciting and dangerous profession it is today. Readers will also learn about the exciting tricks performed by clowns and the important aspect of the job: distracting bulls and broncs while fallen riders seek safety.
