On Saturday, March 16, 2024, RodeoHouston contenders left it all on the dirt field as the three-week series neared its end. Audience members were thrilled that they got to see the Rodeo’s iconic former bullfighter and clown, Leon Coffee, in the barrel for his second-to-last bull riding round before he takes on other jobs at the rodeo next year  Competitors risked life and limb on the penultimate day of the beloved Houston event, in rounds of bull riding, steer wrestling, bareback riding, and more.
