Rodeo is a traditional Western sport that includes events such as bull riding, bronc riding and timed skill-based competitions involving horses and cattle. Unlike general equestrian riding or farm activities, rodeo events are highly structured and take place in controlled arenas with trained animals and professional handlers. While rodeos are often dramatic to watch, participation is governed by strict rules and safety procedures. When travelling abroad, rodeo participation is typically undertaken at an amateur level through organised events or training environments.
ActivitySure can cover rodeo when you are taking part overseas on an amateur, non-professional basis and in line with the policy conditions. As rodeo involves close interaction with large, powerful animals and fast-paced movements, suitable travel insurance is particularly important.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go for a rodeo?
Rodeo is most strongly associated with North and South America, where it forms part of cultural heritage and sporting tradition. The USA is especially well known for rodeo, hosting events across many states throughout the year.
Canada and Brazil are also popular destinations for rodeo, with organised competitions and festivals that combine riding events, livestock handling and public displays of horsemanship.
Here's why rodeo travel insurance matters:
Rodeo carries a higher level of risk than many sporting activities. Falls, kicks or collisions with animals can result in serious injury, even in supervised settings. If you require medical treatment while abroad, or need to return home earlier than planned due to injury, travel insurance can help provide financial protection.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow the handler or organisers briefing closely before entering the arena
- Keep clear of animals when you are not actively taking part in an event.
- Maintain a strong, controlled grip and stay alert to sudden movements.
- Wear appropriate protective equipment as required for the specific rodeo event
- Always follow organiser instructions and do not take part if conditions or animal behaviour are unsafe
Frequently asked questions
Yes, ActivitySure can cover rodeo, but not as standard. It’s a specialist activity, and needs to be added to your policy before you take part. This could apply if you’re travelling for a ranch holiday, rodeo festival, organised event or supervised experience where rodeo forms part of the trip.
Rodeo can include organised events or experiences involving riding, handling, or competing with animals in a rodeo-style setting. If your booking includes a specific activity such as bull riding, check that the activity selected matches exactly what you’ll be doing.
No, bull riding is listed separately due to its risks. If this is what you’re doing specifically, select bull riding rather than general rodeo.
It’s really important to choose the right activity - claims will only be considered for insured activities.
If rodeo is shown on your policy, you may be covered for emergency medical expenses if you’re injured while taking part. You should follow the organiser’s instructions, wear the required protective equipment and only take part in activities suitable for your experience level.
Cover for personal liability is not covered if a claim results from your control or ownership of an animal. This means that if you are held legally liable for damages to someone else or their property, you cannot make a claim on your policy.
No. Rodeo cover is for amateur participation only. It would not apply if you are being paid to compete, taking part professionally, or entering an event for monetary prizes.
