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.
This is a tough question. Bucking bulls are mostly cross-bred... Brahma for the humps, horns and height, and other breeds for stockiness and athleticism.
Stocker bulls may be fatter, but there won't be a stronger, athletic bull on the planet.

14 is a little young for Bull Riding, but a lot of rodeos have junior bull riding or junior steer riding which is good for you to get your start in competition.
I would recommend a Bull Riding School this spring or summer, they also usually have steers to start you off on, to get you into the sport with the proper fundamentals.
Good luck!

There are very few women that attempt Bull Riding at the higher levels. It really is a rough sport and you take a beating. Upper body strength is key as well.
There was a girl in 2011 that tried to make it up through the ranks of the PBR, and it didn't really work out for her.
As romantic as the sport is with the whole Man vs. Beast thing, it really takes a special breed of contender to withstand the toll and struggle that goes with it.

For sure there was... and there were guys in their 50's.
There are even Bull Riders in the 70's still riding in the Senior Pro Rodeo Association, and one guy in Australia who rides with the best of them.
As long as you're in decent enough shape and your body can take the rigours of the sport, you're game.

You're definitely not too old. The best thing to do is to find a Rodeo School or Clinic in your area, try googling "Rodeo Clinic" or "Rodeo School" with your State or Province. Clinics are the best way to get started by learning all of the intricacies and easing your way into the sport.
