Rodeo bull
hire
Hire a rodeo bull for a party, family day or company event. A host operates the bull and adjusts the speed to whoever is riding. We bring it, set it up and clear it away again.
How long can you stay on?
A rodeo bull, or mechanical bull, is a machine bull that spins and moves up and down. Whoever stays on longest wins. There's a soft crash mat all around, so anyone who falls off has a soft landing.
The bull is operated by our host, who starts gently and speeds up as the rider gets better. A child gets a different ride from a competitive colleague out to beat the last time, so everyone can take part.

How to make it a competition
Against the clock
Whoever stays on longest goes to the top. The host keeps the times and announces the standings after each ride.
By age
Children ride on a gentle setting and against each other, adults on a setting that matches what they can handle. That way anyone can still win.
Team battle
Add up the times per team or department. That way the colleague who's off after three seconds counts too.
The final
At the end the top three ride once more, with everyone gathered round. That's the moment the whole room comes to watch.
What we look out for
One person rides at a time, and the host can stop the bull at any moment. Before the first ride we explain how to sit, how to hold on and how best to fall.
The area around the crash mat stays clear, including for spectators who want to get a bit closer. Glasses, jewellery and loose items come off before anyone gets on.
If there's drinking at the party, we agree beforehand how we'll handle it. Our host can ask someone to skip a ride if that's the wiser choice.
Space, power and a spot with an audience
A rodeo bull needs a flat surface, power and clear space around the crash mat. We agree exactly how much with you beforehand.
If children are coming, a bouncy castle fits in well alongside it. For an afternoon with teams, the bull can be part of a team games day, or stand alongside an assault course . We're based in Enschede and work across the Netherlands.
The price depends on the duration, the venue and whether there's a competition. You'll have it within 1 working day of a short enquiry.
Frequently asked questions
What do we need to arrange ourselves?
A flat spot with power nearby and clear space around the crash mat. We handle delivery, set-up, operation and take-down. We agree exactly what space and power connection are needed with you beforehand.
What age is a rodeo bull suitable for?
The host sets the speed to suit the rider, so children and adults can both ride. With very young children we decide together with the parents whether it's sensible. Let us know in your enquiry what ages are coming.
Is a rodeo bull safe?
One person rides at a time, the host operates the bull and stops it when needed, and there's a soft crash mat all around. Falling is part of it, so we explain beforehand how to do it properly. Anyone with an injury or who is pregnant is better off cheering.
Will one of your team be there?
Yes. The bull is operated by one of our hosts, who explains how it works, keeps the times and makes sure nobody stands too close to the mat.
