As with many other events which are a part of the collective whole of a rodeo show, Saddle Bronc Riding also traces its roots back to the time of ranches, the Wild West and cowboys.
Originally used to break in horses on ranches to tame them, it gradually evolved to become the competitive sporting event as we know it today.
It is one of the mainstays and headlining events of modern rodeo, recognized both domestically by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and internationally by the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA). Saddle Bronc Riding is a part of newer associations such as the World Champions Rodeo Alliance (WCRA). Of course, the sport of Saddle Bronc Riding stretches from Jr. High School Rodeo, High School Rodeo and College Rodeos across the United States.
This is called ‘Marking the Horse out’.
Scoring is accorded 50 points to the rider for their skill, ability and technique and 50 points to the horse for bucking ability or in layman’s terms, what was the difficulty level of the horse. The 2 scores are then totaled up to form the final score.
The horses used are not typically feral, aggressive or untamed animals with bad tempers like their bull counterparts in bull riding. They are rather prized and selected on the basis of their ability to jump and buck high.
Saddle Bronc Riding can be caught on any of the numerous rodeo events throughout the year. Stay tuned to Cowboy Lifestyle Network for various rodeos taking place throughout the rodeo season and check out GoCountryEvents.com for all upcoming events!
