FAQ

How do I get started in bull riding?

There is a lot to learn when it comes to riding bulls. The best way to learn is to go step-by-step with an expert that can teach in a way that makes difficult concepts easier to understand. That is exactly what I try to do here at Bull Rider Coach. My name is Wiley Peterson, and I have more than 20 years of experience riding bulls and teaching others how to bull ride. I have created an online bull riding course called How To Bull Ride to help people who would like to learn as much as possible in an easy-to-follow system. My online course also covers advanced topics for those of you that are already competing! The great thing about this course is that you can go at your own pace and repeat the process as often as you want or need. Check it out for yourself! You won’t regret it.

When and where are your clinics?

My clinics are held in Idaho, and I only do a few bull riding clinics per year. Check the home page of my site and sign up for my emails to hear about my next one and to stay up-to-date with all of the bull riding news, tips, and tricks!

How much does it cost to come to one of your clinics?

Tuition is usually $400 for ages 14+ and $250 for ages 7-13 with an additional $50 arena fee when we need to use the indoor arena (colder months). Tuition does not include travel and lodging.

What is the age group for your clinics?

The age limit at my regular bull riding clinics is 14 years and older. The age limit at my junior bull riding clinics is 7 to 13 years old. I love to teach riders of all ages, and I believe that bull riding can be for everyone. To learn more about my age recommendations, contact me today!

Do I need my own equipment at a clinic?

No, I have equipment you can use. However, you do need to bring your own cowboy boots. If you have concerns about equipment, reach out to me now to learn what I have on-hand and the best ways to prepare for your bull riding course.

Am I too old to ride bulls?

As in most sports, you have a better chance of becoming a professional bull rider if you start at a young age. However, anyone can start at any age and be successful. How far you go depends on how hard you work and your athletic ability. I would encourage you to try new things no matter your age! Whether you want to become a professional bull rider or you are just interested in taking up a new hobby, I can help.

Can women ride bulls?

Of course! I have no problem working with women who want to become bull riders. I love to see women showing the men how tough and determined they are! To get started with your bull riding courses, contact me now!

Why do you have a weight limit of 200 lbs for your clinics?

In bull riding, you are at a disadvantage the bigger you are. The average size of a bull rider is 5'6" 140 lbs. Therefore, the weight limit we have set is for your safety as the heavier you are, the harder you hit the ground.

In terms of participating in the clinic, it depends on your physical condition. If you are over 200 lbs and are not in great physical condition, then I would recommend you not ride and take some time to lose weight and get physically conditioned to ride. If you are over 200 lbs and are in great physical condition, then honestly, you are not physically built to be a bull rider.
