» Which hand should I ride with?
This is a question of physiological theory. If you're right-handed, you should hold your rope with your left hand. Vice verse to this is, if you're left-handed, then you should hold on with your right.

The logic is balance; left handed people react and maintain their balance with their left hand. Therefore, they should hold on with their right and maintain control and balance with their dominate hand - left.
Theory is not for everyone. If you do not feel comfortable with your riding hand - try switching riding hands.

"A fellow bull riding buddy of mine is ambidextrous (able to write with both hands). He rides equally well with either hands and says he was never able to feel comfortable with one or the other. Not being able to commit caused him to get hurt often."
