Abstract

A literature review and field research were made in rodeos in the state of Minas Gerais to analyze the effects of equipment (sedém, American rope and spurs), used in rodeo bulls during practice, and analyze their own equipment doing the same measurements, to identify regions of the animal's body that suffer the most injuries while riding and also assess whether there is any relationship between the side of falling for pedestrians, the hand that holds the pawn and the direction of rotation during the bull riding with the side of the animal body where injuries occurred. 231 animals were observed in rodeos after riding in the back and it was observed that 68.80% of the analyzed animals have not suffered any injury due to use of equipment. The region that showed more lesions were from the sidewalls, which may be due to the region of greatest contact between animal and pedestrian. The results also showed that statistically there is no relationship between the side of falling for pedestrians, the hand that holds the pawn and the direction of rotation during the bull riding with the side on which there was injury to animals.
