SADDLE BRONC RIDING

Considered a rodeo classic, saddle bronc riding is similar to bareback riding, but with a saddled horse. The equipment makes saddle bronc riding more difficult than bareback riding.

Scoring for this event is based on both the bucking action of the bronc and on the control and spurring action of the rider. The cowboy is only allowed to grasp the “bronc rein” with one hand while sitting in a specially built saddle. The cowboy must stay on the horse for 8 seconds and is disqualified if either foot comes out of the stirrups, or if he touches his equipment, himself, or the animal with his free hand. He is also disqualified if he fails to touch the horse’s shoulders with his feet on the first jump out of the chute.
