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.
no, it's not weird. I ride left as well. We're of the minority, but we still rawk them.

Boots, jeans, hat... and you can usually borrow/buy a rope, vest, spurs at your first clinic.
Clinics range from $250 - $750 or more.

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!

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.

Does your boss ever have you lie on his behalf?
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!

Your life isn't something you should skimp out on. In the US recommend US Rodeo Supply and in Canada Bramers Rodeo and Western Supply.
They're pricey as they're designed specifically for bull Riding.
Your alternative would be to buy used on eBay or classifieds or word of mouth.
Every event you miss or day of work you miss because you're injured is going to cost money... Prollyore than you'd save on equipment.

Between the rolls of fat right in front of your rope. As the bull bucks, his skin goes taught and you continually reposition your feet.
