Become a Bull Rider
What does it take to become a Professional Bull Rider?
A bull rider must be 18 years of age to purchase a PBR membership. After you purchase the PBR membership you will receive a riding permit. This
riding permit will allow you the ability to enter the Challenger Tour events as well as the Enterprise Tour and the
Discovery Tour. Once you win $2,500 in prize money you will be upgraded from permit status to cardholder status, however, you have to continue
to win at least $2,500 each year to maintain your cardholder status. Once you receive your cardholder status you can work your way toward the
Challenger Tour standings, which can earn you a position on the Built Ford Tough Series.
Fill out and return to PBR to start your Bull Riding Career.
Additionally, attending a reputable bull riding school may give you the edge needed to take advantage of opportunities offered by the Professional
Bull Riders to win money riding against the toughest contenders – both man and beast – in the world. If you are in need of protective equipment
there are several companies that offer safety equipment and rodeo gear. Lambert’s Quality Rodeo Gear, the company owned and operated by PBR Live
Stock Director Cody Lambert, features the lifesaving Master Pro Rodeo Vest and may be reached by phone at 940-538-5803.
