I live my life 8-seconds at a time as an adrenaline junkie that goes event to event, matching up against some of the rankest bulls in the world in an 8-second battle for supremacy.
Tipping horns pre-dates that fateful day, it is predominantly due to the territorial nature of bulls, and being hauled together, they would hurt each other if they had pointy tips. Also, the tipping of horns is for the protection of riders and crew, and again, prior to that day. Size of horns is irrelevant, it is the tip that is important, it must be larger than a silver dollar.
Helmets and vests were on the scene before Bodacious, though helmets became more popular after Tuff Hedemen's wreck and his adoption of the face mask.
Now, vests are mandatory (late 90's) and helmets are optional, though recommended.

I think two-handed riding is ridiculous, especially if you want to continue with the sport. Why start and learn all over again? And it's like two-arm curling a steers head into your helmut mask... but to each their own.
My sponsorship advice is to create a package (1,2,3-4 pages long) that talks about who you are, where you're going, what you can do for the sponsor and how they're helping you (what the fees go to). Be sure to offer lots of things for the sponsors... names on shirts, vests, helmets, autograph cards, etc. And then play the numbers game... keep calling and giving it to people until you get what you need. 50 may say no before 1 says yes.
Good luck x 2!

It really depends on the sanctioning. Most times you need to pay at the event at the lower levels, and you usually need a member to enter you, unless you're a local. All of the entry info should be with the event info (#, etc.)
good luck!

Sounds like you're set! As I've said earlier in my answers, I would recommend attending a rodeo clinic/school to get introduced to the sport. Good luck!

I spend around $10,000-$15,000 on fuel, flights and hotel. You always share when you can... a dollar saved is a dollar earned... and travelling partners make the Sport.

but we definitely recommend a weekend rodeo clinic or school as a starter... and repeat.
