WELCOME Bareback Bronc Riding FANS
What is Bareback Bronc Riding?
Most cowboys agree that bareback riding is the most physically demanding event in rodeo, taking an immense toll on the cowboy's body. Muscles are stretched to the limit, joints are pulled and pounded mercilessly, and ligaments are strained and frequently rearranged. The strength of bareback broncs is exceptional, and challenging them is often costly.
Bareback riders endure more abuse, suffer more injuries and carry away more long-term damage than all other rodeo cowboys.
To stay aboard the horse, a bareback rider uses a rigging made of leather and constructed to meet PRCA safety specifications. The rigging, which resembles a suitcase handle on a strap, is placed atop the horse's withers and secured with a cinch.
Bareback riding has been compared to riding a jackhammer with one hand. Jason Jeter can probably attest to that definition. As the bronc and rider burst from the chute, the rider must have both spurs touching the horse's shoulders until the horse's feet hit the ground after the initial move from the chute. This is called "marking out." If the cowboy fails to do this, he is disqualified.
As the bronc bucks, the rider pulls his knees up, rolling his spurs up the horse's shoulders. As the horse descends, the cowboy straightens his legs, returning his spurs over the point of the horse's shoulders in anticipation of the next jump.
Making a qualified ride and earning a money-winning score requires more than just strength. A bareback rider is judged on his spurring technique, the degree to which his toes remain turned out while he is spurring and his willingness to take whatever might come during his ride.
It's a tough way to make a living, all right. But, according to bareback riders, it's the cowboy way.
Bareback riding is the most physically demanding event in rodeo, placing immense physical stress on the rider's arm and back. However, sheer strength isn't all that's required to be successful in this event.
With one hand, the rider grasps a "rigging," a handhold made of leather and rawhide that is tied around the horse, behind its front legs and withers (the area between the shoulder blades). After the initial jump out of the chute, the cowboy pulls his spurs above the horse's shoulders until the horse's feet hit the ground. If the rider fails to do this, or if he touches the horse, himself or his equipment with his free hand, he is disqualified.
As the bronc bucks, the rider pulls his knees up, dragging spurs up to the point of the horse's shoulders. The rider straightens his legs, as the horse descends, again placing his feet over the horse's shoulders in anticipation of the next jump.
The rider is judged on his spurring technique, so the trick for him is to time the spurring motion with the horse's bucking action. Judges look for the rider's willingness to lean far back on the horse and take whatever the ride brings. The horse's bucking action also contributes half the total score.
