What is a common reason for a rider to "turn out" of a scheduled event?

A scheduling conflict is a common reason for a rider to turn out of a scheduled event. This refers to situations where a rider has overlapping commitments, such as participating in another event or a prior engagement that coincides with the scheduled rodeo. This is particularly relevant in the context of rodeo events, where participants often have to juggle different competitions, training sessions, or personal commitments which may prevent them from being able to attend a specific rodeo. When a rider is faced with this type of conflict, it becomes necessary for them to make a choice about which commitment to honor, leading to their decision to turn out of one of the events.

Other reasons for turning out, such as injury during practice, lack of interest, or poor performance history, might impact a rider’s decisions as well. However, scheduling conflicts specifically encompass logistical issues that are often unavoidable, making it a prevalent and legitimate reason for missing an event.
