The Rodeo Cowboys Association describes professional rodeo as a last holdout of individualism in America. Cowboys pay all travel and entry fees and keep any winnings, with no guaranteed wages. Top earners may exceed 40000 dollars yearly, but only after months of road work and solo competition across towns and rodeos.
The Rodeo Cowboys Association created an apprentice system in 1957 allowing riders to purchase a permit card to enter amateur or permitted Association rodeos. A permit holder may compete until winning $1,000 in Association rodeos, then must join or return to novice status. Permit costs $35 and applies to horses suited to Association insurance.
