With $20,000 in prize money up for grabs Mr Mills said competitors will be digging deep to stay in the saddle.
"It's one of the most dangerous sports in the world, these guys have a lot of try and guts to get on these bulls," he said
"The cowboys and cowgirls will be doing their best on the bucking horses and bucking bulls.
"It's a big adrenaline rush riding wild horses or bulls. Once you've done it once, you can't wait to do it again, you're addicted to it.
