Got any good advice on rodeo?

I want to train my mare (she is 4) as all-around and maybe compete in the future. Id like any advice on what I could do with her and some basic training ideas for it. She is a paint (not breed stock), about 15hh, a bit cowhocked but not bad at all, shorter neck, nice front and hind end...any advice?Got any good advice on rodeo?
Rodeos, are so much fun! You should try ';parelli's'; its a good training method, search it up on google and you can find ways to train your horse and gain it's trust. It is the type of training that involves no whips or harsh punishments. I tried it on my 5 yr old gelding and it worked like a charm. But it takes a lot of practice, it doesn't happen overnight. :) I would recommend trying that. It sounds like your mare is a good all around horse, and has great formation. You should definitely consider doing rodeo in the future! Good luck :)Got any good advice on rodeo?
hmm i dont rodeo yet.. but hopefully sometime in the up comming year lol.. i would just say start practicing her in all of them but maybe you should work on one event first like.... barrel racing.. once you get good at that start practicing roping i would say that would be the way to start out hope this helps :]
Try to get involved in penning/cutting/cow work. Even if you go out to a cattle farm and teach her the basics of working with cows. Steer undecorating is fun but she'll have to be good around cows to do that.
