The term "bull rope" is often used to describe the rope that bull riders use to hang on to while riding a bull. However, depending on the region or style of bull riding, there may be different names for the rope. For example, in Mexican rodeo or charreada, the bull rope is called a "maguey" or "maguey rope," since it is traditionally made of agave fibers. In Brazilian rodeo, the rope is known as a "corda" or "cow rope." In some American rodeo circuits, the rope is simply referred to as a "bull riding rope" or a "rope." Regardless of the name, the bull rope is an essential tool for any bull rider.
