A rodeo clown is a cowboy

A rodeo clown is a cowboy, dressed in wild costumes. They are used in bull riding competitions where their primary job is to distract the bull from the rider when the rider dismounts either at end of the ride (8 seconds) or by being thrown before the end of the ride. Rodeo Clowns are also referred to as bullfighters and cowboy protection within rodeo circles. Rodeo Clowns usually work in pairs or in threes and move towards the bull, waving and yelling to attract the bull's attention to themselves as soon as a bull rider dismounts or is thrown from the bull
