Trick Riders often have variable schedules that involve evenings, weekends, and travel, as performances are frequently part of rodeos, circuses, renaissance fairs, or special events. Practice and rehearsal times are essential and may be scheduled during the day, while actual performances typically happen at night or on weekends. In addition to performing, Trick Riders spend a significant portion of their week training horses, maintaining equipment, and collaborating with other performers or crew to plan routines. The role can be physically demanding, but it provides a dynamic and exciting work environment for those passionate about live entertainment and horsemanship.
