First, offer to help take care of animals for free. Or you can offer to do walking tours and help people meet the riders, which gets you a chance to see things up close.

The best way to get started is to attend a rodeo school. Check out rodeo websites and there should be schools listed for the event you are interested in. It's very hard unless you have been raised in a rodeo family. This is a good place to start.
