I grew up on a cattle farm and rode horses. I rode a bull just one time, at a rodeo. I was young (19) and tough. I thought. It hurt. A lot. But was only badly bruised.
My dad told beforehand that bull riding was gladiator stuff. Unlike most of the rodeo events, it had nothing to do with ranching. He was right again.
Upon throwing the horse rider, the horse will not attack him/her. It might accidently step on him/her. The bull is ‘a whole nuther critter’. He will attack the thrown rider.
