A rodeo is an event that features horse riding and ranching skills, like roping steers and barrel racing. It's often a fun way to watch cowboys and cowgirls show off their talents.
Imagine you're at a big outdoor festival or fair in the middle of nowhere - it could be called a rodeo town because of all the events happening there. The main action usually takes place in an arena, where people on horses and on foot try to lasso and ride steers, jump over obstacles, and finish courses quickly. You might also see competitions for roping, wrestling, or bull riding - these are all popular at rodeos.
A gathering of cattle to be branded.
