Pro Rodeo Learn Bareback Riding through Photos
As many of you might know, bareback riding is a very tough rodeo event that requires agility, speed and power. Looking at Bareback Riding photos, you can see that this sport is one of the toughest rodeo events. A lot of amateur cowboys have improved their skills by looking at photos and videos of professional bareback riders. A lot of photos depict gruesome images. This is because this event is also one of the most dangerous.
While riding the bucking horse, the cowboy can only use one hand. The other hand should not be used to touch anything. This can be clearly seen in the photos. You should ride for attest 8 seconds in order to qualify for this event. Cowboys have been known to suffer injuries to their back, neck and arm while competing in this sport. If you can manage a score of 80 or above, you are a very good bareback rider.   (2/10/2012)
Pro Rodeo Bareback Riding is an event in rodeo where a cowboy mounts a horse inside of a chute. The rider has no equipment but a small handle-like structure call the riggin to help them stay on the untrained horse. They must remain on the horse for 8 seconds, and can only use one hand. If the other hand, called the free hand, hits the horse or the ground the ride is counted as a no score. (9/23/2011)

I grew up on a Midwest farm with dirt under my fingernails and the sound of wind rustling through cornfields. My childhood was all about 4H – raising pigs and horses, learning to bake and sew, and discovering the magic of transforming a garden into jars of summer sunshine. Those years taught me the value of hard work, the thrill of seeing a project through to the end, and the simple joy of creating something beautiful. A country girl with a need for speed and a thirst for adventure. Maybe that's why I love the feeling of wind in my hair – whether I'm cruising down a dusty road on my Harley or tackling a mountain trail on my trusty mountain bike. Some of my earliest memories of rodeo are watching my father compete at small local events. That's also where my love for country music comes in – long car rides listening to 8 tracks. The lyrics and melodies always spoke to my soul. These days, you'll find me cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls at rodeos, two-stepping to my favorite bands, belting out a country tune at a concert or sharing stories and laughter with friends around a bonfire. When I'm not soaking up the country life and getting my boots dirty, I'm a nurse, caring for folks in my community. Follow along for more stories from the heart of rodeo and country life!
