It’s OK to Love It Too Much: Passion Isn’t a Problem

You’ve probably heard it, maybe even felt it:
“You’re too into this.”
“It’s just a hobby.”
“Maybe scale it back a little.”
But out here, we know the truth — rodeo isn’t just a pastime. It’s part of who we are. And loving something deeply? That’s not a flaw. That’s a gift.
At Rad Rodeo, we believe in big passion — especially when it’s loud, glittery, inconvenient, and a little bit wild.
Passion Teaches Perseverance
When kids are passionate about competition, they:
Wake up early without being asked.
Practice without being pushed.
Ride through setbacks because they want to get better.
That kind of drive doesn’t come from pressure — it comes from love. And we say, let them love it hard.
We Don’t Apologize for the Sparkle
In our world, glitter makes you go faster — or at least, it makes you feel like you can.
So we don’t tone it down:
Wild outfits, fringe, and glitter.
One-of-a-kind tack that turns heads.
Rodeo outfits that say, “I showed up and I’m ready to shine.”
Because confidence comes from self-expression. And kids who feel good about how they show up? They ride with heart.
Passion Builds Identity
Rodeo gives our kids more than a hobby — it gives them a sense of who they are:
Disciplined.
Gritty.
Fiercely committed.
It anchors them during the tough years. It connects them to something real. And it gives them purpose in a world that often feels confusing.
We Ride for the Joy
Not every run is a win. Not every season is perfect. But when you love it, you keep coming back — not because you have to, but because you can’t imagine life without it.
That’s the kind of joy we want our kids to chase:
Loud.
Wild.
Fully felt.
Final Thoughts
At Rad Rodeo, we’re not afraid to love it too much. We’re proud of it.
Because passion isn’t something to tame — it’s something to celebrate.
So go all in. decorate the pens. Buy the sparkly pants. Cheer until your voice cracks.
This life only works if your heart’s in it. And around here, ours always is.
