Freeform’s “Not Her First Rodeo” continues this Thursday with an episode that underscores the sheer physicality and determination needed to compete in professional bull riding. “The Name of the Game is Pain” is a pretty straightforward title, and it likely reflects the reality these athletes face every time they step into the arena.
While league leader Jorden Halvorsen sets out to recruit young riders in Florida, hoping to bring fresh talent into the fold, another rider, Alexia, focuses on staying healthy.
