I'd be super tempted to try the rodeo plot! As a someone raised around horses myself, I can get a little . . . . Fangirly? Maybe just excited. Are you thinking more western or more show type events? And if western, more roping, cutting, speed events, or bronc riding?
Well . . . . It kinda does? For instance, speed events such as barrels and poles are mainly limited to national competitions; and even then, mainly the United States. Roping tends to be something slightly bigger nationally, but again is limited in the world scope. Cutting is basically the Western equivalent of The major horse races throughout the world, such as the Kentucky Derby.
In addition, the training for each of the different events is way different. A horse being expected to work with cows needs to be around them so it doesn't spook. A cutting horse is trained to be ridden without bridle, since you aren't allowed to touch your reins while competing. A speed event horse needs to know proper lead changes in order to avoid knocking over barrels and poles.
I like most events. My Uncle trained cutting horses for many years, and now I train horses for speed events, roping, and cattle drives. I'm not as familiar with the bronc aspects of rodeo, which was mainly why I was asking.
Definitely don't mind! I just wasn't sure what you knew and what you didn't, and what fit with your idea of the plot better. I suppose if you're wanting something like a tour then probably roping and speed events would be the best bet. Speed events tend to be a female sport while roping is a male sport, with the exception of team roping which is usually a male-female pair. They tend to be events that are held at the same rodeos as well, which would give characters a greater opportunity to run into each other randomly but would also explain a long separation.
Cutting is something that tends to be "all" the cutters are there and doesn't have the same "tour" aspect of it - it's much more "go, race, come home" than the speed events and roping are.
I'm a bit interested. I run pretty blank though when it comes to rodeos and what not
I've been craving plots revolving around returning soldiers and the aftermath they experience for years... and I would seriously love you forever if you and I did the Coming Home plot! Like, oh my goodness, I don't think I could ever grow tired of the plot, honestly. I'm pretty sure one of the first 1x1 rps I made when I was about 12 revolved around soldiers and WW2. So please, if you're interested, shoot me a message and we could work something out! I can totally provide a writing sample if you're into that, and we can just go from there!
